#
# The ndarray object from _testbuffer.c is a complete implementation of
# a PEP-3118 buffer provider. It is independent from NumPy's ndarray
# and the tests don't require NumPy.
#
# If NumPy is present, some tests check both ndarray implementations
# against each other.
#
# Most ndarray tests also check that memoryview(ndarray) behaves in
# the same way as the original. Thus, a substantial part of the
# memoryview tests is now in this module.

        ### Multi-dimensional arrays:
        ###
        ### The goal here is to preserve the logical representation of the
        ### input array but change the physical representation if necessary.
        ###
        ### _testbuffer example:
        ### ====================
        ###
        ###    C input array:
        ###    --------------
        ###       >>> nd = ndarray(list(range(12)), shape=[3, 4])
        ###       >>> nd.tolist()
        ###       [[0, 1, 2, 3],
        ###        [4, 5, 6, 7],
        ###        [8, 9, 10, 11]]
        ###
        ###    Fortran output:
        ###    ---------------
        ###       >>> py_buffer_to_contiguous(nd, 'F', PyBUF_FULL_RO)
        ###       >>> b'\x00\x04\x08\x01\x05\t\x02\x06\n\x03\x07\x0b'
        ###
        ###    The return value corresponds to this input list for
        ###    _testbuffer's ndarray:
        ###       >>> nd = ndarray([0,4,8,1,5,9,2,6,10,3,7,11], shape=[3,4],
        ###                        flags=ND_FORTRAN)
        ###       >>> nd.tolist()
        ###       [[0, 1, 2, 3],
        ###        [4, 5, 6, 7],
        ###        [8, 9, 10, 11]]
        ###
        ###    The logical array is the same, but the values in memory are now
        ###    in Fortran order.
        ###
        ### NumPy example:
        ### ==============
        ###    _testbuffer's ndarray takes lists to initialize the memory.
        ###    Here's the same sequence in NumPy:
        ###
        ###    C input:
        ###    --------
        ###       >>> nd = ndarray(buffer=bytearray(list(range(12))),
        ###                        shape=[3, 4], dtype='B')
        ###       >>> nd
        ###       array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
        ###              [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
        ###              [ 8,  9, 10, 11]], dtype=uint8)
        ###
        ###    Fortran output:
        ###    ---------------
        ###       >>> fortran_buf = nd.tostring(order='F')
        ###       >>> fortran_buf
        ###       b'\x00\x04\x08\x01\x05\t\x02\x06\n\x03\x07\x0b'
        ###
        ###       >>> nd = ndarray(buffer=fortran_buf, shape=[3, 4],
        ###                        dtype='B', order='F')
        ###
        ###       >>> nd
        ###       array([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
        ###              [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
        ###              [ 8,  9, 10, 11]], dtype=uint8)
