For the particular example above the simplest would probably be a
templated function taking the matrix by reference,
template< size_t N, size_t M >
void fun( double (&d)[N][M] ) { ... }
Great suggestion. It is *almost* doing exactly what I want. The
problem I am having now is the code as written can't tell when I am
trying to call the scalar routine and when I am trying to call the
1-dim routine. Is there a way to fix this, short of renaming the
scalar routine? Code is as follows:
James Tursa
#include <stddef.h>
void fun(double *c);
template <size_t m>
void fun(double (&c)[m])
{
// 1-dim code to fill in values of a double array of size m
}
template <size_t m, size_t n>
void fun(double (&c)[m][n])
{
// 2-dim code to fill in values of a double array of size m x n
}
int main()
{
double a;
double b[3];
double c[2][3];
fun(&a); // this one calls the scalar routine
fun(b); // this one also calls the scalar routine. Want it to
call the 1 dimension routine
fun(c); // this one calls the 2 dimension routine
}
void fun(double *c)
{
// scalar code to fill in value of a double scalar
}
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
