                     is_f_order)

For backward compatibility

Cast an array using typecode structure.
steals reference to dtype --- cannot be NULL

This function always makes a copy of arr, even if the dtype
doesn't change.

::

  int
  PyArray_CastTo(PyArrayObject *out, PyArrayObject *mp)

Cast to an already created array.

::

  int
  PyArray_CastAnyTo(PyArrayObject *out, PyArrayObject *mp)

Cast to an already created array.  Arrays don't have to be "broadcastable"
Only requirement is they have the same number of elements.

::

  int
  PyArray_CanCastSafely(int fromtype, int totype)

Check the type coercion rules.

::

  npy_bool
  PyArray_CanCastTo(PyArray_Descr *from, PyArray_Descr *to)

leaves reference count alone --- cannot be NULL

PyArray_CanCastTypeTo is equivalent to this, but adds a 'casting'
parameter.

::

  int

::

  PyArrayObject **
  PyArray_ConvertToCommonType(PyObject *op, int *retn)


This function is only used in one place within NumPy and should
generally be avoided. It is provided mainly for backward compatibility.

The user of the function has to free the returned array.

::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_FromScalar(PyObject *scalar, PyArray_Descr *outcode)

Get 0-dim array from scalar

0-dim array from array-scalar object
always contains a copy of the data
unless outcode is NULL, it is of void type and the referrer does
not own it either.

steals reference to outcode

::

  void
  PyArray_ScalarAsCtype(PyObject *scalar, void *ctypeptr)

Convert to c-type

no error checking is performed -- ctypeptr must be same type as scalar
in case of flexible type, the data is not copied
into ctypeptr which is expected to be a pointer to pointer

::

  int
  PyArray_CastScalarToCtype(PyObject *scalar, void
                            *ctypeptr, PyArray_Descr *outcode)

Cast Scalar to c-type

The output buffer must be large-enough to receive the value
Even for flexible types which is different from ScalarAsCtype
where only a reference for flexible types is returned

This may not work right on narrow builds for NumPy unicode scalars.

::

  int
  PyArray_CastScalarDirect(PyObject *scalar, PyArray_Descr
                           *indescr, void *ctypeptr, int outtype)

                  *context)

Does not check for NPY_ARRAY_ENSURECOPY and NPY_ARRAY_NOTSWAPPED in flags
Steals a reference to newtype --- which can be NULL

::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_EnsureArray(PyObject *op)

This is a quick wrapper around
PyArray_FromAny(op, NULL, 0, 0, NPY_ARRAY_ENSUREARRAY, NULL)
that special cases Arrays and PyArray_Scalars up front
It *steals a reference* to the object
It also guarantees that the result is PyArray_Type
Because it decrefs op if any conversion needs to take place
so it can be used like PyArray_EnsureArray(some_function(...))

::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_FromFile(FILE *fp, PyArray_Descr *dtype, npy_intp num, char
                   *sep)


Given a ``FILE *`` pointer ``fp``, and a ``PyArray_Descr``, return an
array corresponding to the data encoded in that file.

The reference to `dtype` is stolen (it is possible that the passed in
dtype is not held on to).

The number of elements to read is given as ``num``; if it is < 0, then
then as many as possible are read.

If ``sep`` is NULL or empty, then binary data is assumed, else
text data, with ``sep`` as the separator between elements. Whitespace in
the separator matches any length of whitespace in the text, and a match
for whitespace around the separator is added.

For memory-mapped files, use the buffer interface. No more data than
necessary is read by this routine.

::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_FromString(char *data, npy_intp slen, PyArray_Descr
                     *dtype, npy_intp num, char *sep)


Given a pointer to a string ``data``, a string length ``slen``, and
a ``PyArray_Descr``, return an array corresponding to the data
encoded in that string.

If the dtype is NULL, the default array type is used (double).
If non-null, the reference is stolen.

If ``slen`` is < 0, then the end of string is used for text data.
It is an error for ``slen`` to be < 0 for binary data (since embedded NULLs
would be the norm).

The number of elements to read is given as ``num``; if it is < 0, then
then as many as possible are read.

If ``sep`` is NULL or empty, then binary data is assumed, else
text data, with ``sep`` as the separator between elements. Whitespace in
the separator matches any length of whitespace in the text, and a match
for whitespace around the separator is added.

array and it is contiguous.  If refcheck is 0, then the reference count is
not checked and assumed to be 1.  You still must own this data and have no
weak-references and no base object.

::

  int
  PyArray_MoveInto(PyArrayObject *dst, PyArrayObject *src)

Move the memory of one array into another, allowing for overlapping data.

Returns 0 on success, negative on failure.

::

  PyArray_DescrConverter(PyObject *obj, PyArray_Descr **at)

Get typenum from an object -- None goes to NPY_DEFAULT_TYPE
This function takes a Python object representing a type and converts it
to a the correct PyArray_Descr * structure to describe the type.

Many objects can be used to represent a data-type which in NumPy is
quite a flexible concept.

This is the central code that converts Python objects to
Type-descriptor objects that are used throughout numpy.

Returns a new reference in *at, but the returned should not be

  int
  NpyIter_Deallocate(NpyIter *iter)

Deallocate an iterator.

To correctly work when an error is in progress, we have to check
`PyErr_Occurred()`. This is necessary when buffers are not finalized
or WritebackIfCopy is used. We could avoid that check by exposing a new
function which is passed in whether or not a Python error is already set.

Get a pointer to the size of the inner loop  (when HasExternalLoop is true)

This function may be safely called without holding the Python GIL.

::

  int
  NpyIter_Reset(NpyIter *iter, char **errmsg)

Resets the iterator to its initial state

The use of errmsg is discouraged, it cannot be guaranteed that the GIL
will not be grabbed on casting errors even when this is passed.

If errmsg is non-NULL, it should point to a variable which will
receive the error message, and no Python exception will be set.
This is so that the function can be called from code not holding
the GIL. Note that cast errors may still lead to the GIL being
grabbed temporarily.

::

  int
  NpyIter_ResetBasePointers(NpyIter *iter, char **baseptrs, char
                            **errmsg)

Resets the iterator to its initial state, with new base data pointers.
This function requires great caution.

If errmsg is non-NULL, it should point to a variable which will
receive the error message, and no Python exception will be set.
This is so that the function can be called from code not holding
the GIL. Note that cast errors may still lead to the GIL being
grabbed temporarily.

                                iend, char **errmsg)

Resets the iterator to a new iterator index range

If errmsg is non-NULL, it should point to a variable which will
receive the error message, and no Python exception will be set.
This is so that the function can be called from code not holding
the GIL. Note that cast errors may still lead to the GIL being
grabbed temporarily.

  int
  NpyIter_GotoIterIndex(NpyIter *iter, npy_intp iterindex)

  NpyIter_HasMultiIndex(NpyIter *iter)

Whether the iterator is tracking a multi-index

::

  int
  NpyIter_GetShape(NpyIter *iter, npy_intp *outshape)

Gets the broadcast shape if a multi-index is being tracked by the iterator,
otherwise gets the shape of the iteration as Fortran-order
(fastest-changing index first).

The reason Fortran-order is returned when a multi-index
is not enabled is that this is providing a direct view into how
the iterator traverses the n-dimensional space. The iterator organizes
its memory from fastest index to slowest index, and when
a multi-index is enabled, it uses a permutation to recover the original
order.

Returns NPY_SUCCEED or NPY_FAIL.

::

  NpyIter_GetMultiIndexFunc *
  NpyIter_GetGetMultiIndex(NpyIter *iter, char **errmsg)

Compute a specialized get_multi_index function for the iterator

If errmsg is non-NULL, it should point to a variable which will
receive the error message, and no Python exception will be set.
This is so that the function can be called from code not holding
the GIL.

::

  int
  NpyIter_GotoMultiIndex(NpyIter *iter, npy_intp const *multi_index)

Sets the iterator to the specified multi-index, which must have the
correct number of entries for 'ndim'.  It is only valid
when NPY_ITER_MULTI_INDEX was passed to the constructor.  This operation
fails if the multi-index is out of bounds.

Returns NPY_SUCCEED on success, NPY_FAIL on failure.

::

  int

  npy_intp *
  NpyIter_GetIndexPtr(NpyIter *iter)

Get a pointer to the index, if it is being tracked

::

  int
  NpyIter_GotoIndex(NpyIter *iter, npy_intp flat_index)

If the iterator is tracking an index, sets the iterator
to the specified index.

Returns NPY_SUCCEED on success, NPY_FAIL on failure.

::

  void
  NpyIter_GetWriteFlags(NpyIter *iter, char *outwriteflags)

Gets an array of write flags (1 per object being iterated)

::

  void
  NpyIter_DebugPrint(NpyIter *iter)

For debugging

::

  npy_bool
  NpyIter_IterationNeedsAPI(NpyIter *iter)

Whether the iteration loop, and in particular the iternext()
function, needs API access.  If this is true, the GIL must
be retained while iterating.

::

  void
  NpyIter_GetInnerFixedStrideArray(NpyIter *iter, npy_intp *out_strides)

Get an array of strides which are fixed.  Any strides which may
change during iteration receive the value NPY_MAX_INTP.  Once
the iterator is ready to iterate, call this to get the strides
which will always be fixed in the inner loop, then choose optimized
inner loop functions which take advantage of those fixed strides.

This function may be safely called without holding the Python GIL.

::

  int
  NpyIter_RemoveAxis(NpyIter *iter, int axis)

Removes an axis from iteration. This requires that NPY_ITER_MULTI_INDEX
was set for iterator creation, and does not work if buffering is
enabled. This function also resets the iterator to its initial state.

Returns NPY_SUCCEED or NPY_FAIL.

::

  npy_intp *
  NpyIter_GetAxisStrideArray(NpyIter *iter, int axis)

Gets the array of strides for the specified axis.
If the iterator is tracking a multi-index, gets the strides
for the axis specified, otherwise gets the strides for
the iteration axis as Fortran order (fastest-changing axis first).

Returns NULL if an error occurs.

::

  npy_bool
  NpyIter_RequiresBuffering(NpyIter *iter)

Whether the iteration could be done with no buffering.

::

  char **
  NpyIter_GetInitialDataPtrArray(NpyIter *iter)

Get the array of data pointers (1 per object being iterated),
directly into the arrays (never pointing to a buffer), for starting
unbuffered iteration. This always returns the addresses for the
iterator position as reset to iterator index 0.

These pointers are different from the pointers accepted by
NpyIter_ResetBasePointers, because the direction along some
axes may have been reversed, requiring base offsets.

This function may be safely called without holding the Python GIL.

::

  int
  NpyIter_CreateCompatibleStrides(NpyIter *iter, npy_intp
                                  itemsize, npy_intp *outstrides)

Builds a set of strides which are the same as the strides of an
output array created using the NPY_ITER_ALLOCATE flag, where NULL
was passed for op_axes.  This is for data packed contiguously,
but not necessarily in C or Fortran order. This should be used
together with NpyIter_GetShape and NpyIter_GetNDim.

A use case for this function is to match the shape and layout of
the iterator and tack on one or more dimensions.  For example,
in order to generate a vector per input value for a numerical gradient,
you pass in ndim*itemsize for itemsize, then add another dimension to
the end with size ndim and stride itemsize.  To do the Hessian matrix,
you do the same thing but add two dimensions, or take advantage of
the symmetry and pack it into 1 dimension with a particular encoding.

This function may only be called if the iterator is tracking a multi-index
and if NPY_ITER_DONT_NEGATE_STRIDES was used to prevent an axis from
being iterated in reverse order.

If an array is created with this method, simply adding 'itemsize'
for each iteration will traverse the new array matching the
iterator.

Returns NPY_SUCCEED or NPY_FAIL.

::

  int
  PyArray_CastingConverter(PyObject *obj, NPY_CASTING *casting)

Convert any Python object, *obj*, to an NPY_CASTING enum.

::

  npy_intp
  PyArray_CountNonzero(PyArrayObject *self)

Counts the number of non-zero elements in the array.

Returns -1 on error.

::

  PyArray_Descr *
  PyArray_PromoteTypes(PyArray_Descr *type1, PyArray_Descr *type2)

Produces the smallest size and lowest kind type to which both
input types can be cast.

::

  PyArray_Descr *
  PyArray_MinScalarType(PyArrayObject *arr)

If arr is a scalar (has 0 dimensions) with a built-in number data type,
finds the smallest type size/kind which can still represent its data.
Otherwise, returns the array's data type.


::

  PyArray_Descr *
  PyArray_ResultType(npy_intp narrs, PyArrayObject **arr, npy_intp
                     ndtypes, PyArray_Descr **dtypes)

Produces the result type of a bunch of inputs, using the UFunc
type promotion rules. Use this function when you have a set of
input arrays, and need to determine an output array dtype.

If all the inputs are scalars (have 0 dimensions) or the maximum "kind"
of the scalars is greater than the maximum "kind" of the arrays, does
a regular type promotion.

Otherwise, does a type promotion on the MinScalarType
of all the inputs.  Data types passed directly are treated as array
types.


::

  npy_bool
  PyArray_CanCastArrayTo(PyArrayObject *arr, PyArray_Descr
                         *to, NPY_CASTING casting)

Returns 1 if the array object may be cast to the given data type using
the casting rule, 0 otherwise.  This differs from PyArray_CanCastTo in
that it handles scalar arrays (0 dimensions) specially, by checking
their value.

::

  npy_bool
  PyArray_CanCastTypeTo(PyArray_Descr *from, PyArray_Descr
                        *to, NPY_CASTING casting)

Returns true if data of type 'from' may be cast to data of type
'to' according to the rule 'casting'.

::

  PyArrayObject *
  PyArray_EinsteinSum(char *subscripts, npy_intp nop, PyArrayObject
                      **op_in, PyArray_Descr *dtype, NPY_ORDER
                      order, NPY_CASTING casting, PyArrayObject *out)

This function provides summation of array elements according to
the Einstein summation convention.  For example:
- trace(a)        -> einsum("ii", a)
- transpose(a)    -> einsum("ji", a)
- multiply(a,b)   -> einsum(",", a, b)
- inner(a,b)      -> einsum("i,i", a, b)
- outer(a,b)      -> einsum("i,j", a, b)
- matvec(a,b)     -> einsum("ij,j", a, b)
- matmat(a,b)     -> einsum("ij,jk", a, b)

subscripts: The string of subscripts for einstein summation.
nop:        The number of operands
op_in:      The array of operands
dtype:      Either NULL, or the data type to force the calculation as.
order:      The order for the calculation/the output axes.
casting:    What kind of casts should be permitted.
out:        Either NULL, or an array into which the output should be placed.

By default, the labels get placed in alphabetical order
at the end of the output. So, if c = einsum("i,j", a, b)
then c[i,j] == a[i]*b[j], but if c = einsum("j,i", a, b)
then c[i,j] = a[j]*b[i].

Alternatively, you can control the output order or prevent
an axis from being summed/force an axis to be summed by providing
indices for the output. This allows us to turn 'trace' into
'diag', for example.
- diag(a)         -> einsum("ii->i", a)
- sum(a, axis=0)  -> einsum("i...->", a)

Subscripts at the beginning and end may be specified by
putting an ellipsis "..." in the middle.  For example,
the function einsum("i...i", a) takes the diagonal of
the first and last dimensions of the operand, and
einsum("ij...,jk...->ik...") takes the matrix product using
the first two indices of each operand instead of the last two.

When there is only one operand, no axes being summed, and
no output parameter, this function returns a view
into the operand instead of making a copy.

  PyObject *
  PyArray_NewLikeArray(PyArrayObject *prototype, NPY_ORDER

prototype - The array the new one should be like.
order     - NPY_CORDER - C-contiguous result.
NPY_FORTRANORDER - Fortran-contiguous result.
NPY_ANYORDER - Fortran if prototype is Fortran, C otherwise.
NPY_KEEPORDER - Keeps the axis ordering of prototype.
dtype     - If not NULL, overrides the data type of the result.
subok     - If 1, use the prototype's array subtype, otherwise
always create a base-class array.

NOTE: If dtype is not NULL, steals the dtype reference.  On failure or when
dtype->subarray is true, dtype will be decrefed.

  int
  PyArray_ConvertClipmodeSequence(PyObject *object, NPY_CLIPMODE
                                  *modes, int n)

Convert an object to an array of n NPY_CLIPMODE values.
This is intended to be used in functions where a different mode
could be applied to each axis, like in ravel_multi_index.

::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_MatrixProduct2(PyObject *op1, PyObject
                         *op2, PyArrayObject*out)

Numeric.matrixproduct2(a,v,out)
just like inner product but does the swapaxes stuff on the fly

::

  npy_bool
  NpyIter_IsFirstVisit(NpyIter *iter, int iop)

Checks to see whether this is the first time the elements
of the specified reduction operand which the iterator points at are
being seen for the first time. The function returns
a reasonable answer for reduction operands and when buffering is
disabled. The answer may be incorrect for buffered non-reduction
operands.

This function is intended to be used in EXTERNAL_LOOP mode only,
and will produce some wrong answers when that mode is not enabled.

If this function returns true, the caller should also
check the inner loop stride of the operand, because if
that stride is 0, then only the first element of the innermost
external loop is being visited for the first time.

WARNING: For performance reasons, 'iop' is not bounds-checked,
it is not confirmed that 'iop' is actually a reduction
operand, and it is not confirmed that EXTERNAL_LOOP
mode is enabled. These checks are the responsibility of
the caller, and should be done outside of any inner loops.

::

  int
  PyArray_SetBaseObject(PyArrayObject *arr, PyObject *obj)

Sets the 'base' attribute of the array. This steals a reference
to 'obj'.

Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.

::

  void
  PyArray_CreateSortedStridePerm(int ndim, npy_intp const
                                 *strides, npy_stride_sort_item
                                 *out_strideperm)


This function populates the first ndim elements
of strideperm with sorted descending by their absolute values.
For example, the stride array (4, -2, 12) becomes
[(2, 12), (0, 4), (1, -2)].

::

  void
  PyArray_RemoveAxesInPlace(PyArrayObject *arr, const npy_bool *flags)


Removes the axes flagged as True from the array,
modifying it in place. If an axis flagged for removal
has a shape entry bigger than one, this effectively selects
index zero for that axis.

WARNING: If an axis flagged for removal has a shape equal to zero,
the array will point to invalid memory. The caller must
validate this!
If an axis flagged for removal has a shape larger than one,
the aligned flag (and in the future the contiguous flags),
may need explicit update.
(check also NPY_RELAXED_STRIDES_CHECKING)

For example, this can be used to remove the reduction axes
from a reduction result once its computation is complete.

::

  void
  PyArray_DebugPrint(PyArrayObject *obj)

Prints the raw data of the ndarray in a form useful for debugging
low-level C issues.

::

  int
  PyArray_FailUnlessWriteable(PyArrayObject *obj, const char *name)


This function does nothing if obj is writeable, and raises an exception
(and returns -1) if obj is not writeable. It may also do other
house-keeping, such as issuing warnings on arrays which are transitioning
to become views. Always call this function at some point before writing to
an array.

'name' is a name for the array, used to give better error
messages. Something like "assignment destination", "output array", or even
just "array".

::

  int
  PyArray_SetUpdateIfCopyBase(PyArrayObject *arr, PyArrayObject *base)


Precondition: 'arr' is a copy of 'base' (though possibly with different
strides, ordering, etc.). This function sets the UPDATEIFCOPY flag and the
->base pointer on 'arr', so that when 'arr' is destructed, it will copy any
changes back to 'base'. DEPRECATED, use PyArray_SetWritebackIfCopyBase

Steals a reference to 'base'.

Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.

::

  void *
  PyDataMem_NEW(size_t size)

Allocates memory for array data.

::

  void
  PyDataMem_FREE(void *ptr)

Free memory for array data.

::

  void *
  PyDataMem_RENEW(void *ptr, size_t size)

Reallocate/resize memory for array data.

::

  PyDataMem_EventHookFunc *
  PyDataMem_SetEventHook(PyDataMem_EventHookFunc *newhook, void
                         *user_data, void **old_data)

Sets the allocation event hook for numpy array data.
Takes a PyDataMem_EventHookFunc *, which has the signature:
void hook(void *old, void *new, size_t size, void *user_data).
Also takes a void *user_data, and void **old_data.

Returns a pointer to the previous hook or NULL.  If old_data is
non-NULL, the previous user_data pointer will be copied to it.

If not NULL, hook will be called at the end of each PyDataMem_NEW/FREE/RENEW:
result = PyDataMem_NEW(size)        -> (*hook)(NULL, result, size, user_data)
PyDataMem_FREE(ptr)                 -> (*hook)(ptr, NULL, 0, user_data)
result = PyDataMem_RENEW(ptr, size) -> (*hook)(ptr, result, size, user_data)

When the hook is called, the GIL will be held by the calling
thread.  The hook should be written to be reentrant, if it performs
operations that might cause new allocation events (such as the
creation/destruction numpy objects, or creating/destroying Python
objects which might cause a gc)

  void
  PyArray_MapIterSwapAxes(PyArrayMapIterObject *mit, PyArrayObject
                          **ret, int getmap)


::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_MapIterArray(PyArrayObject *a, PyObject *index)


Use advanced indexing to iterate an array.

::

  void
  PyArray_MapIterNext(PyArrayMapIterObject *mit)

This function needs to update the state of the map iterator
and point mit->dataptr to the memory-location of the next object

Note that this function never handles an extra operand but provides
compatibility for an old (exposed) API.

::

  int
  PyArray_Partition(PyArrayObject *op, PyArrayObject *ktharray, int
                    axis, NPY_SELECTKIND which)

Partition an array in-place

::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_ArgPartition(PyArrayObject *op, PyArrayObject *ktharray, int
                       axis, NPY_SELECTKIND which)

ArgPartition an array

::

  int
  PyArray_SelectkindConverter(PyObject *obj, NPY_SELECTKIND *selectkind)

Convert object to select kind

::

  void *
  PyDataMem_NEW_ZEROED(size_t size, size_t elsize)

Allocates zeroed memory for array data.

::

  int
  PyArray_CheckAnyScalarExact(PyObject *obj)

return true an object is exactly a numpy scalar

::

  PyObject *
  PyArray_MapIterArrayCopyIfOverlap(PyArrayObject *a, PyObject
                                    *index, int
                                    copy_if_overlap, PyArrayObject
                                    *extra_op)


Same as PyArray_MapIterArray, but:

If copy_if_overlap != 0, check if `a` has memory overlap with any of the
arrays in `index` and with `extra_op`. If yes, make copies as appropriate
to avoid problems if `a` is modified during the iteration.
`iter->array` may contain a copied array (UPDATEIFCOPY/WRITEBACKIFCOPY set).

::

  int
  PyArray_ResolveWritebackIfCopy(PyArrayObject *self)


If WRITEBACKIFCOPY and self has data, reset the base WRITEABLE flag,
copy the local data to base, release the local data, and set flags
appropriately. Return 0 if not relevant, 1 if success, < 0 on failure

::

  int
  PyArray_SetWritebackIfCopyBase(PyArrayObject *arr, PyArrayObject
                                 *base)


Precondition: 'arr' is a copy of 'base' (though possibly with different
strides, ordering, etc.). This function sets the WRITEBACKIFCOPY flag and the
->base pointer on 'arr', call PyArray_ResolveWritebackIfCopy to copy any
changes back to 'base' before deallocating the array.

Steals a reference to 'base'.

Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.
