// <etymology>
// This file contains global functions that attempt binary operations with
// arrays that have possibly differing shapes.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// These functions perform operations on two arrays, left and right, which go
// chunk by chunk in left and element by element in right, as long as right
// spans a subspace of left.  If left's shape has more dimensions than right's,
// each entry in right will effectively be replicated as necessary to act on
// each entry in the corresponding chunk of left.
// e.g. if left's shape is (256, 256, 1, 4), and right's is (256, 256), 
// left(i, j, 1, l) will be operated on with right(i, j) for i & j from 0 to
// 255 and l from 0 to 3.  Note that right must be either reformable to left's
// shape (same # of elements) or its shape must equal left's shape "as far as
// it goes", i.e. where right's dimensions are defined.
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//   Array<Complex> a(10, 6);
//   Vector<Int>    b(10);
//   Array<Complex> c(10, 6);
//   
//   c = binOpExpandR(a, b, std::plus<Complex>());
// </srcblock>
// This example sets c(i, j) to a(i, j) + b(i).  It checks that either b's
// shape can be reformed to a's (same # of elements) or that a's shape is the
// same as b's where b's dimensions are defined.
// The result of this operation is an Array.
// </example>

// <group name=OpsDiff_functions>

// Returns a LogicalArray with elements (at pos) set to (data(pos) ==
// truthvalue).  data is effectively collapsed using anyEQ if necessary to
// fit desiredform.  Throws an exception if that does not work.
template<typename T>
LogicalArray reformedMask(const Array<T>& data, const T truthvalue,
                          const IPosition& desiredform);

// Can arrays left and right with respective shapes leftShape and rightShape be
// used in function(left, right, ...) for the other functions declared here?
Bool rightExpandableToLeft(const IPosition& leftShape, const IPosition& rightShape);

// Apply op elementwise to left and right, replicating elements of right as
// necessary (see example above).  Throws an ArrayConformanceError exception if
// that cannot be done.
//
// Currently assumes that it is the trailing axes of left that right will be
// replicated along.  e.g. if left's shape is (1, 2, 4) and right's is (1, 2),
// the result will be left(i, j, k) op right(i, j) for all (i, j, k).
//
//# template<typename L, typename R, typename BinaryOperator, typename RES>
//# Array<RES> binOpExpandR(const Array<L>& left, const Array<R>& right,
//#                     BinaryOperator op);

// Like binOpExpandR(left, right, res, op), but work on left in place.
template<typename L, typename R, typename BinaryOperator>
void binOpExpandInPlace(Array<L>& left, const Array<R>& right, BinaryOperator op);
