dispatch

Dispatch to a native add-on applying a nullary function.

Usage

var dispatch = require( '@stdlib/strided/base/nullary-addon-dispatch' );

dispatch( addon, fallback )

Returns a function which dispatches to a native add-on applying a nullary function.

function addon( N, dtypeX, x, strideX ) {
    // Call into native add-on...
}

function fallback( N, dtypeX, x, strideX ) {
    // Fallback JavaScript implementation...
}

// Create a dispatch function:
var f = dispatch( addon, fallback );

// ...

// Invoke the dispatch function with strided array arguments:
f( 2, 'generic', [ 1, 2 ], 1 );

The returned function has the following signature:

f( N, dtypeX, x, strideX )

where

N: number of indexed elements.
dtypeX: x data type.
x: output array.
strideX: x stride length.

The addon function should have the following signature:

f( N, dtypeX, x, strideX )

where

N: number of indexed elements.
dtypeX: x data type (enumeration constant).
x: output array.
strideX: x stride length.

The fallback function should have the following signature:

f( N, dtypeX, x, strideX )

where

N: number of indexed elements.
dtypeX: x data type.
x: output array.
strideX: x stride length.

dispatch.ndarray( addon, fallback )

Returns a function which dispatches to a native add-on applying a nullary function using alternative indexing semantics.

function addon( N, dtypeX, x, strideX ) {
    // Call into native add-on...
}

function fallback( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, offsetX ) {
    // Fallback JavaScript implementation...
}

// Create a dispatch function:
var f = dispatch.ndarray( addon, fallback );

// ...

// Invoke the dispatch function with strided array arguments:
f( 2, 'generic', [ 1, 2 ], 1, 0 );

The returned function has the following signature:

f( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, offsetX )

where

N: number of indexed elements.
dtypeX: x data type.
x: output array.
strideX: x stride length.
offsetX: starting x index.

The addon function should have the following signature:

f( N, dtypeX, x, strideX )

where

N: number of indexed elements.
dtypeX: x data type (enumeration constant).
x: output array.
strideX: x stride length.

The fallback function should have the following signature:

f( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, offsetX )

where

N: number of indexed elements.
dtypeX: x data type.
x: output array.
strideX: x stride length.
offsetX: starting x index.

Notes

To determine whether to dispatch to the addon function, the returned dispatch function checks whether the provided arrays are typed arrays. If the provided arrays are typed arrays, the dispatch function invokes the addon function; otherwise, the dispatch function invokes the fallback function.

Examples

var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );
var dispatch = require( '@stdlib/strided/base/nullary-addon-dispatch' );

function addon( N, dtypeX, x, strideX ) {
    console.log( x );
    // => <Float64Array>[ 3, 4 ]
}

function fallback( N, dtypeX, x, strideX, offsetX ) {
    console.log( x );
    // => [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]
}

// Create a dispatch function:
var f = dispatch.ndarray( addon, fallback );

// Create a strided array:
var x = new Float64Array( [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] );

// Dispatch to the add-on function:
f( 2, 'float64', x, 1, 2 );

// Define a new strided array:
x = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];

// Dispatch to the fallback function:
f( 2, 'generic', x, 1, 2 );
