This makes sure that zero-dimensional SubArrays (views of a single value) are indexed with
IndexLinear
and are a subtype ofFastContiguousSubArray
. This way,iscontiguous
returnstrue
for such a view.The rationale for this is that
iscontiguous
can be used to decide whether a SubArray can be passed to a C function, as is done in the package MPI.jl. With the proposed changes, single values of an array can be sent and received with MPI by passing a zero-dimensional view to the MPI functions.Fixes #29608
