Enumeration Type Documentation

 anonymous enum

Enum for special subindex values.

While non-negative subindices in an Index corresponds to normal subindices, negative subindices are reserved for special purposes.

IDX_ALL = a:
Wildcard Used to indicate that all indices are to be considered or that the particular subindex value is of no interest. To improve self-documentation for library code, only IDX_ALL should be used in actuall library code. 'a' is syntactic suggar meant for use in application code.

IDX_X, IDX_Y, IDX_Z:
Loop indices used to indicate that a particular index should be looped over.

IDX_SPIN:
Used to indicate that a certain subindex should be interpreted as a spin-subindex.

IDX_SEPARATOR:
Used as Index-separator in compound indices such as {{1, 2}, {3, 4}}, which is stored as {1, 2, IDX_SEPARATOR, 3, 4}.
