An alternative arrays package conforming to SRFI-47.
Aubrey Jaffer, ported to Chicken by felix winkelmann
None
The full specification can be found at the SRFI website. The array prototypes for complex numbers are not supported (ac64). The 64-bit signed and unsigned array prototypes au64 and as64) are provided but may not support the full range of numerical values on 32-bit architevtures.
Additionally, the following procedure is defined:
<procedure>(array-store ARRAY)</procedure>
Returns the underlying storage object, which may be a vector or a SRFI-4 number vector.
Note: this array package is not compatible with the default array library (srfi-25) that is provided with the base system. Don't use these two libraries together in the same program.
<example> <init>(use srfi-47)</init> <expr> (define fred (make-array '#(#f) 8 8)) (define freds-diagonal
(make-shared-array fred (lambda (i) (list i i)) 8))
(array-set! freds-diagonal 'foo 3) (print (array-ref fred 3 3)) </expr> <output>foo</output> <expr> (define freds-center
(make-shared-array fred (lambda (i j) (list (+ 3 i) (+ 3 j))) 2 2))
(print (array-ref freds-center 0 0)) </expr> <output>foo</output> </example>
