Your welcome. Kudos for developing this library, it looks impressive. One of
my main frustrations with C++ has been the complete absense of any decent
array handling. (std::valarray doesn't count)....
One of the reasons I have started investigating this library is in relation to
interfacing with MATLAB.
The concept of storage orders seems to be almost what is needed, but at the
same time I doubt it will work. I have started using MATLAB for the
convenience of prototyping, data analysis etc. Unfortunately the part of the
MATLAB API I am using deals with complex numbers using seperate arrays for
the real and imaginary parts, rather than one array of (say) complex<double>.
The library requires:
double* realPart;
double* imagPart;
Whereas a typical array (even in Blitz++) would be
Array<complex<double>,2> A(2,2);
A pointer to which is given by:
complex<double>* complexArray=A.data();
Is there any way (no matter how contrived), that pointers to the real and
imaginary parts can be returned such that
realPart++; imagPart++;
point to the next real and imaginary double?
If this question is better suited to a discussion board please advise me where
it should go...
Thanks,
