Function
Verifies that the types of input and map are valid to be used as parameters to the DXMap routine.
Syntax
#include <dx/dx.h>
Object DXMapCheck(Object input, Object map, char *index,
Type *type, Category *category, int *rank, int *shape)
Functional Details
If map is an Array, it must contain a single element. If map is not an Array, the type, category, rank, and shape of the input component specified by index must match that of the "positions" component of the map. The type, category, rank and shape of the map (and of the data Object produced by this mapping) are returned in the corresponding arguments, type, category, rank, and shape.
The type is one of the following:
TYPE_BYTE TYPE_HYPER TYPE_SHORT TYPE_UBYTE TYPE_INT TYPE_USHORT TYPE_DOUBLE TYPE_UINT TYPE_STRING TYPE_FLOAT
The category is either CATEGORY_REAL or CATEGORY_COMPLEX.
Return Value
Returns the input argument if input and map are valid for mapping; otherwise, returns NULL but does not set an error code.
