@stdlib/strided-base-binary-dtype-signatures

About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Binary Signatures

Generate a list of binary interface signatures from strided array data types.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/strided-base-binary-dtype-signatures

Usage

var signatures = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-binary-dtype-signatures' );

signatures( dtypes1, dtypes2, dtypes3[, options] )

Generates a list of binary interface signatures from strided array data types.

var dtypes = [
    'float64',
    'float32',
    'int32',
    'uint8'
];

var sigs = signatures( dtypes, dtypes, dtypes );
// returns [ 'float32', 'float32', 'float32', ... ]

The function accepts the following arguments:

• dtypes1: list of supported data types for the first input argument.
• dtypes2: list of supported data types for the second input argument.
• dtypes3: list of supported data types for the output value.
• options: options.

The function accepts the following options:

• enums: boolean flag indicating whether to return signatures as a list of data type enumeration constants. Default: false.

When the enums options is false, the function returns an array of data type strings. To return data type enumeration constants, set the enums option to true.

var dtypes = [
    'float64',
    'float32',
    'int32',
    'uint8'
];
var options = {
    'enums': true
};

var sigs = signatures( dtypes, dtypes, dtypes, options );
// returns [...]

Notes

• The function returns a strided array having a stride length of 3 (i.e., every 3 elements define a binary interface signature).
• For each signature (i.e., set of three consecutive non-overlapping strided array elements), the first two elements are the input data types and the third element is the return data type.
• All signatures follow type promotion rules.

Examples

var dtypes = require( '@stdlib/strided-dtypes' );
var replace = require( '@stdlib/string-replace' );
var signatures = require( '@stdlib/strided-base-binary-dtype-signatures' );

// Get the list of supported strided array data types:
var dt = dtypes();

// Generate binary interface signatures:
var sigs = signatures( dt, dt, dt );

// Format the output:
var str = replace( JSON.stringify( sigs ), /("[^"]+","[^"]+","[^"]+"),/g, '$1,\n' );
console.log( str );
