Swift, Accelerate, and Generics
After spending a while in a Playground, I managed to get a generic vDSP multiply routine written that could work on both
Slice<Float>and[Float].For no good reason at all, I decided that I should brain-dump this approach into my SMUGMath-Swift project before I lose the playground to the sands of time.
The “magic” is in the way that I was able to lean on the
withUnsafeBufferPointermethod that exists for both collection types, and then also specify some additional type clauses to ensure we’re working withFloatvsDoublefloating point types.
