[Numpy-discussion] Should we drop support for "one file" compilation mode?

2015-10-05 Thread Nathaniel Smith
Hi all, For a long time, NumPy has supported two different ways of being compiled: "Separate compilation" mode: like most C projects, each .c file gets compiled to a .o file, and then the .o files get linked together to make a shared library. (This has been the default since 1.8.0.) "One file"

My apologies for the slow response; I was experiencing some technical problems with e-mail. In answer to Antoine's question, my main desire is for a numpy ndarray method, for the convenience, with a secondary goal being improved performance. I have added the function `magsq` to my library, but
