Put and get packed arrays / matrices #22
Description
The main technical challenge is figuring out what is the element type of the array. This isn't documented, but see:
- https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/tPim3jnfh9I/14rVRRZjM80J
- https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/180706/how-to-send-packed-array-from-math-kernel-to-3rd-party-app-via-wstp
At the interface level, there are two main challenges:
- Mathematica is row-oriented instead of column-oriented
- Each dimension in Mathematica can have a "name" (typically
List, but can be different).
So it would probably make sense to define a new type (WArrayExpr) to store these?
