ArrayConstant

An array constant, stored as raw data.

Declaration

Syntax

ArrayConstant(int n_data, void data, ttype type,
    arraystorage storage_format)

Arguments

Argument

Description

n_data

the size of data in bytes.

data

the elements, in the order given by storage_format, as the raw bytes of the element type.

type

the array type, which gives the element type and the shape.

storage_format

RowMajor or ColMajor; see arraystorage.

Return values

The value of the expression.

Description

An array whose elements are all compile time constants is stored as bytes rather than as a list of expression nodes. A large data statement then costs its data and nothing else, and a backend can emit it as an initialised object directly.

ArrayConstructor is the node for an array whose elements are not all constant. ASR text writes the bytes with the #asr/bytes tag, and never truncates them.
