Array zip macro: lock step function application across several arrays and producers.

This is a shorthand for Zip.

This example:

azip!(mut a, b, c in { *a = b + c })

Is equivalent to:

Zip::from(&mut a).and(&b).and(&c).apply(|a, &b, &c| {
    *a = b + c;
});

Explanation of the shorthand for captures:

• mut a: the producer is &mut a and the variable pattern is mut a.
• b: the producer is &b and the variable pattern is &b (same for c).

The syntax is azip!( capture [, capture [, ...] ] in { expression }) where the captures are a sequence of pattern-like items that indicate which arrays are used for the zip. The expression is evaluated elementwise, with the value of an element from each producer in their respective variable.

More capture rules:

• ref c: the producer is &c and the variable pattern is c.
• mut a (expr): the producer is expr and the variable pattern is mut a.
• b (expr): the producer is expr and the variable pattern is &b.
• ref c (expr): the producer is expr and the variable pattern is c.

Panics if any of the arrays are not of the same shape.

Examples

#[macro_use(azip)]
extern crate ndarray;

use ndarray::Array2;

type M = Array2<f32>;

fn main() {
    let mut a = M::zeros((16, 16));
    let b = M::from_elem(a.dim(), 1.);
    let c = M::from_elem(a.dim(), 2.);

    // Compute a simple ternary operation:
    // elementwise addition of b and c, stored in a

    azip!(mut a, b, c in { *a = b + c });

    assert_eq!(a, &b + &c);
}
