Further to my previous emails about getting SIMD aligned arrays, I've noticed that numpy arrays aren't always naturally aligned either.
For example, numpy.float96 arrays are not always aligned on 12-byte boundaries under 32-bit linux/gcc. Indeed, .alignment on the array always seems to return 4 (with 64-bit, .alignment returns 4, 8, and 16 for float32, float64 and longdouble respectively). Can I assume _anything_ in general about the alignment of a numpy array? (I mean, based on what all implementations of the underlying malloc etc will return). Should I rely on what is returned from .alignment? cheers, Henry _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
