(Introduced in Objective Caml 3.00)
This extension provides syntactic sugar for getting and setting elements in the arrays provided by the Bigarray[Bigarray] library.
The short expressions are translated into calls to functions of the Bigarray module as described in the following table.
| expression | translation |
| expr0.{ expr1} | Bigarray.Array1.get expr0 expr1 |
| expr0.{ expr1} <- expr | Bigarray.Array1.set expr0 expr1 expr |
| expr0.{ expr1, expr2} | Bigarray.Array2.get expr0 expr1 expr2 |
| expr0.{ expr1, expr2} <- expr | Bigarray.Array2.set expr0 expr1 expr2 expr |
| expr0.{ expr1, expr2, expr3} | Bigarray.Array3.get expr0 expr1 expr2 expr3 |
| expr0.{ expr1, expr2, expr3} <- expr | Bigarray.Array3.set expr0 expr1 expr2 expr3 expr |
| expr0.{ expr1, …, exprn} | Bigarray.Genarray.get expr0 [| expr1, … , exprn |] |
| expr0.{ expr1, …, exprn} <- expr | Bigarray.Genarray.set expr0 [| expr1, … , exprn |] expr |
The last two entries are valid for any n > 3.
