|
||
is that it is defined to be free of pointer aliasing, an assumption
|
||
that C89 is not allowed to make, and neither is C++98. C99 adds a new
|
||
keyword, <code class="code">restrict</code>, to apply to individual pointers. The
|
||
C++ solution is contained in the library rather than the language
|
||
(although many vendors can be expected to add this to their compilers
|
||
as an extension).
|
||
</p><p>That library solution is a set of two classes, five template classes,
|
||
and "a whole bunch" of functions. The classes are required
|
||
to be free of pointer aliasing, so compilers can optimize the
|
||
daylights out of them the same way that they have been for FORTRAN.
|
||
They are collectively called <code class="code">valarray</code>, although strictly
|
||
speaking this is only one of the five template classes, and they are
|
||
designed to be familiar to people who have worked with the BLAS
|
||
libraries before.
