ArrayBroadcast

A scalar or smaller array expanded to a shape.

Declaration

Syntax

ArrayBroadcast(expr array, expr shape, ttype type, expr? value)

Arguments

Argument

Description

array

the value being expanded.

shape

the shape to expand it to.

type

the array type of the result.

value

the compile time value of the expression, when the frontend could fold it; nil otherwise.

Return values

The value of the expression.

Description

a = 0 where a is an array assigns the scalar to every element. The frontend makes that explicit by wrapping the scalar in an ArrayBroadcast, so the assignment has an array on both sides and the array_op pass has one shape to work with.

Examples

(ArrayBroadcast
  :array (Var
    :v (SymbolRef 1 "i")
  )
  :shape (Var
    :v (SymbolRef 1 "shape")
  )
  :type (Array
    :type (Integer
      :kind 4
    )
    :dims [
      (dimension
        :start (IntegerConstant
          :n 1
          :type (Integer
            :kind 4
          )
          :intboz_type :Decimal
        )
        :length (IntegerConstant
          :n 3
          :type (Integer
            :kind 4
          )
          :intboz_type :Decimal
        )
      )
