Abstract

The SRFI, which is to supersede SRFI-47, "Array",

• synthesizes array concepts from Common-Lisp and Alan Bawden's "array.scm";
• incorporates all the uniform vector types from SFRI-4 "Homogeneous numeric vector datatypes";
• adds a boolean uniform array type;
• adds 16.bit and 128.bit floating-point uniform-array types;
• adds decimal floating-point uniform-array types; and
• adds array types of (dual) floating-point complex numbers.

SRFI-58 gives a read/write invariant syntax for the homogeneous and heterogeneous arrays described here.
