The rules for broadcasting in
2.4.xseem to be that singleton dimension can be stripped from either side. If both is possible it'll strip from the back, i.e. the dataset with shape(1, 3, 1)can be read into an array of shape(1, 3). This was probably motivated bystd::vector<std::vector<double>>of shape(1, 3)is easier to deal with than one that's(3, 1).However, the stripping from both sides only works for one-dimensional arrays. Stripping multi-dimensional arrays from either side is unstable and should be avoided anyway. Hence, we only allow stripping any
1s if the target shape is one-dimensional.This commit achieves the above by:
introducing
details::squeezeDimensionswhich strips the required amount of singleton dimesions.improving
details::checkDimensionsby removing bugs related to(3, 1, 1)not being a valid 2D array.Adds (back) tests for checking the broadcasting rules. As well as
details::checkDimensionsanddetails::squeezeDimensions.
