A literal for a fixed-size array always includes a semicolon, which separates the bounds from the values. (The separator in FSA types was changed to a semicolon to match.) A value can be a plain expression or a dictionary expression where the right side of the colon is the value and the left side is the index of the target element or “default” for all un-targeted elements. The left side can also be “func”, with the right side being an initialization closure.</div><div class="">* Move the “Reshaping Arrays” section and add an example.</div><div class="">* Right now, deterministic initialization is unchanged, so an initializing loop has to be changed to initializing the array with a function term, moving the loop to the closure.</div><div class="">* Remove the “parallel” declaration attribute. Add a future note about it and the “fragmentary” attribute.</div><div class="">* Change the for-loop example to conform to deterministic initialization. Reword how the flattening buffer functions work.</div><div class="">* Add examples to element-wise casting.</div><div class="">* Reword tuple conversion section, and add an example.</div><div class="">* Reword various vector-mode attribute sections. Note that there need to be two ABI additions for FSA, one for non-vectorized FSAs and one for vectorized FSAs. These two kinds of arrays need conversion functions at our (i.e. the ABI) level, but are transparent for the user.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> let v1: @vector [3; Int] = [; 1, 3, 5]</div><div class=""> let v2: [3; Int] = v1 // Not a type-mismatch error</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* Due to FSA’s literals including the bounds, or using automatic bounds mode, array-placeholder syntax is not longer needed for type annotations and has been removed.</div><div class="">* Renamed “nestings” to “layers”.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
