Here the if ... continue needs to follow the declaration:
if (*mp1) continue;
float in1 = *(float *)ip1;
float in2 = *(float *)ip2;
*(float *)op1 = f(in1, in2);
I think this would be better as
if (!(*mp1)) {
float in1 = *(float *)ip1;
float in2 = *(float *)ip2;
*(float *)op1 = f(in1, in2);
}
But since this is actually a ternary function, you could define new
functions, something like
double npy_add_m(double a, double b, double mask)
{
if (!mask) {
return a + b;
else {
return a;
}
}
And use the currently existing loops. Well, you would have to add one for
ternary functions.
Question, what about reduce? I don't think it is defined defined for ternary
functions. Apart from reduce, why not just add, you already have the mask to
tell you which results are invalid.
