(** Additional and modified functions for big arrays.
*)

(** Large, multi-dimensional, numerical arrays.

    This module implements multi-dimensional arrays of integers and
    floating-point numbers, thereafter referred to as ``big arrays''.
    The implementation allows efficient sharing of large numerical
    arrays between OCaml code and C or Fortran numerical libraries.

    Concerning the naming conventions, users of this module are encouraged
    to do [open Bigarray] in their source, then refer to array types and
    operations via short dot notation, e.g. [Array1.t] or [Array2.sub].

    Big arrays support all the OCaml ad-hoc polymorphic operations:
    - comparisons ([=], [<>], [<=], etc, as well as {!Pervasives.compare});
    - hashing (module [Hash]);
    - and structured input-output ({!Pervasives.output_value}
     and {!Pervasives.input_value}, as well as the functions from the
     {!Marshal} module).


    This module replaces Stdlib's
    {{:http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Bigarray.html}Bigarray}
    module.

(** {6 Element kinds} *)

(** Big arrays can contain elements of the following kinds:
    - IEEE single precision (32 bits) floating-point numbers
    ({!Bigarray.float32_elt}),
    - IEEE double precision (64 bits) floating-point numbers
    ({!Bigarray.float64_elt}),
    - IEEE single precision (2 * 32 bits) floating-point complex numbers
    ({!Bigarray.complex32_elt}),
    - IEEE double precision (2 * 64 bits) floating-point complex numbers
    ({!Bigarray.complex64_elt}),
    - 8-bit integers (signed or unsigned)
    ({!Bigarray.int8_signed_elt} or {!Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt}),
    - 16-bit integers (signed or unsigned)
    ({!Bigarray.int16_signed_elt} or {!Bigarray.int16_unsigned_elt}),
    - OCaml integers (signed, 31 bits on 32-bit architectures,
    63 bits on 64-bit architectures) ({!Bigarray.int_elt}),
    - 32-bit signed integer ({!Bigarray.int32_elt}),
    - 64-bit signed integers ({!Bigarray.int64_elt}),
    - platform-native signed integers (32 bits on 32-bit architectures,
    64 bits on 64-bit architectures) ({!Bigarray.nativeint_elt}).

    Each element kind is represented at the type level by one
    of the abstract types defined below.
*)

type float32_elt = Bigarray.float32_elt
type float64_elt = Bigarray.float64_elt
type complex32_elt = Bigarray.complex32_elt
type complex64_elt = Bigarray.complex64_elt
type int8_signed_elt = Bigarray.int8_signed_elt
type int8_unsigned_elt = Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt
type int16_signed_elt = Bigarray.int16_signed_elt
type int16_unsigned_elt = Bigarray.int16_unsigned_elt
type int_elt = Bigarray.int_elt
type int32_elt = Bigarray.int32_elt
type int64_elt = Bigarray.int64_elt
type nativeint_elt = Bigarray.nativeint_elt

type ('a, 'b) kind = ('a,'b) Bigarray.kind
(** To each element kind is associated an OCaml type, which is
    the type of OCaml values that can be stored in the big array
    or read back from it.  This type is not necessarily the same
    as the type of the array elements proper: for instance,
    a big array whose elements are of kind [float32_elt] contains
    32-bit single precision floats, but reading or writing one of
    its elements from OCaml uses the OCaml type [float], which is
    64-bit double precision floats.

    The abstract type [('a, 'b) kind] captures this association
    of an OCaml type ['a] for values read or written in the big array,
    and of an element kind ['b] which represents the actual contents
    of the big array.  The following predefined values of type
    [kind] list all possible associations of OCaml types with
    element kinds: *)

val float32 : (float, float32_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val float64 : (float, float64_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val complex32 : (Complex.t, complex32_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val complex64 : (Complex.t, complex64_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val int8_signed : (int, int8_signed_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val int8_unsigned : (int, int8_unsigned_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val int16_signed : (int, int16_signed_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val int16_unsigned : (int, int16_unsigned_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val int : (int, int_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val int32 : (int32, int32_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val int64 : (int64, int64_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val nativeint : (nativeint, nativeint_elt) kind
(** See {!Bigarray.char}. *)

val char : (char, int8_unsigned_elt) kind
(** As shown by the types of the values above,
    big arrays of kind [float32_elt] and [float64_elt] are
    accessed using the OCaml type [float].  Big arrays of complex kinds
    [complex32_elt], [complex64_elt] are accessed with the OCaml type
    {!Complex.t}.  Big arrays of
    integer kinds are accessed using the smallest OCaml integer
    type large enough to represent the array elements:
    [int] for 8- and 16-bit integer bigarrays, as well as OCaml-integer
    bigarrays; [int32] for 32-bit integer bigarrays; [int64]
    for 64-bit integer bigarrays; and [nativeint] for
    platform-native integer bigarrays.  Finally, big arrays of
    kind [int8_unsigned_elt] can also be accessed as arrays of
    characters instead of arrays of small integers, by using
    the kind value [char] instead of [int8_unsigned]. *)

(** {6 Array layouts} *)

type c_layout = Bigarray.c_layout
(** See {!Bigarray.fortran_layout}.*)

type fortran_layout = Bigarray.fortran_layout
(** To facilitate interoperability with existing C and Fortran code,
    this library supports two different memory layouts for big arrays,
    one compatible with the C conventions,
    the other compatible with the Fortran conventions.

    In the C-style layout, array indices start at 0, and
    multi-dimensional arrays are laid out in row-major format.
    That is, for a two-dimensional array, all elements of
    row 0 are contiguous in memory, followed by all elements of
    row 1, etc.  In other terms, the array elements at [(x,y)]
    and [(x, y+1)] are adjacent in memory.

    In the Fortran-style layout, array indices start at 1, and
    multi-dimensional arrays are laid out in column-major format.
    That is, for a two-dimensional array, all elements of
    column 0 are contiguous in memory, followed by all elements of
    column 1, etc.  In other terms, the array elements at [(x,y)]
    and [(x+1, y)] are adjacent in memory.

    Each layout style is identified at the type level by the
    abstract types {!Bigarray.c_layout} and [fortran_layout] respectively. *)

type 'a layout = 'a Bigarray.layout
(** The type ['a layout] represents one of the two supported
    memory layouts: C-style if ['a] is {!Bigarray.c_layout}, Fortran-style
    if ['a] is {!Bigarray.fortran_layout}. *)

    The abstract values [c_layout] and [fortran_layout] represent
    the two supported layouts at the level of values.

  (** The type [Genarray.t] is the type of big arrays with variable

	  is supported.

	  The three type parameters to [Genarray.t] identify the array element
	  kind and layout, as follows:
	  - the first parameter, ['a], is the OCaml type for accessing array
	  elements ([float], [int], [int32], [int64], [nativeint]);
	  - the second parameter, ['b], is the actual kind of array elements
	  ([float32_elt], [float64_elt], [int8_signed_elt], [int8_unsigned_elt],
	  etc);
	  - the third parameter, ['c], identifies the array layout
	  ([c_layout] or [fortran_layout]).

	  For instance, [(float, float32_elt, fortran_layout) Genarray.t]
	  is the type of generic big arrays containing 32-bit floats

	  [fortran_layout]).  The [dimensions] parameter is an array of
	  integers that indicate the size of the big array in each dimension.
	  The length of [dimensions] determines the number of dimensions
	  of the bigarray.

	  For instance, [Genarray.create int32 c_layout [|4;6;8|]]
