Chris@10
|
61 A multi-dimensional array whose size is declared at compile time in C
|
Chris@10
|
62 is <em>already</em> in row-major order. You don't have to do anything
|
Chris@10
|
63 special to transform it. For example:
|
Chris@10
|
64
|
Chris@10
|
65 <pre class="example"> {
|
Chris@10
|
66 fftw_complex data[N0][N1][N2];
|
Chris@10
|
67 fftw_plan plan;
|
Chris@10
|
68 ...
|
Chris@10
|
69 plan = fftw_plan_dft_3d(N0, N1, N2, &data[0][0][0], &data[0][0][0],
|
Chris@10
|
70 FFTW_FORWARD, FFTW_ESTIMATE);
|
Chris@10
|
71 ...
|
Chris@10
|
72 }
|
Chris@10
|
73 </pre>
|
Chris@10
|
74 <p>This will plan a 3d in-place transform of size <code>N0 x N1 x N2</code>.
|
Chris@10
|
75 Notice how we took the address of the zero-th element to pass to the
|
Chris@10
|
76 planner (we could also have used a typecast).
|
Chris@10
|
77
|
Chris@10
|
78 <p>However, we tend to <em>discourage</em> users from declaring their
|
Chris@10
|
79 arrays in this way, for two reasons. First, this allocates the array
|
Chris@10
|
80 on the stack (“automatic” storage), which has a very limited size on
|
Chris@10
|
81 most operating systems (declaring an array with more than a few
|
Chris@10
|
82 thousand elements will often cause a crash). (You can get around this
|
Chris@10
|
83 limitation on many systems by declaring the array as
|
Chris@10
|
84 <code>static</code> and/or global, but that has its own drawbacks.)
|
Chris@10
|
85 Second, it may not optimally align the array for use with a SIMD
|
Chris@10
|
86 FFTW (see <a href="SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc.html#SIMD-alignment-and-fftw_005fmalloc">SIMD alignment and fftw_malloc</a>). Instead, we recommend
|
Chris@10
|
87 using <code>fftw_malloc</code>, as described below.
