Hi Janne,
Using pointer sized variables (e.g. size_t / ptrdiff_t) when the
variables are used as array indices allows accessing larger arrays,
and can be a slight performance improvement due to no need for sign or
zero extending, or masking.
Unless I have missed something, all the examples are for cases where
the array is of maximum size GFC_MAX_DIMENSIONS. This is why they
were left as int in the first place (because it is unlikely we will have
arrays of more than 2^31-1 dimensions soon :-).
Do you really think this change is necessary? If not, I'd rather avoid
such a change.
Regards
Thomas
