Descriptors vs. Views (and how to handle OUTP:REPLACE) #2

Closed mcmillan03 closed 2 years ago

mcmillan03 commented 4 years ago

GBTL has shown how lightweight wrapper classes (views) can be used to capture transpose, structure and complement. Support for "replace" vs "merge" semantics is currently half baked.

Can we cleanly do away with the Descriptor class approach in C++ (I [scott] hope so).

Closing this, since we have settled on views in the spec.
