## `simps` - integrate sampled values using Simpson's rule (to be implemented)
## `simps` - integrate sampled values using Simpson's rule

### Description

Returns the Simpson's rule integral of an array `y` representing discrete samples of a function. The integral is computed assuming either equidistant abscissas with spacing `dx` or arbitary abscissas `x`.

Simpson's rule is defined for odd-length arrays only. For even-length arrays, an optional argument `even` may be used to specify at which index to replace Simpson's rule with Simpson's 3/8 rule. The 3/8 rule will be used for the array section `y(even:even+4)` and the ordinary Simpon's rule will be used elsewhere.
Simpson's ordinary ("1/3") rule is used for odd-length arrays. For even-length arrays, Simpson's 3/8 rule is also utilized in a way that depends on the value of `even`. If `even` is negative (positive), the 3/8 rule is used at the beginning (end) of the array. If `even` is zero or not present, the result is as if the 3/8 rule were first used at the beginning of the array, then at the end of the array, and these two results were averaged.

### Syntax

`result = simps(y, x [, even])`
`result = [[stdlib_experimental_quadrature(module):simps(interface)]](y, x [, even])`

`result = simps(y, dx [, even])`
`result = [[stdlib_experimental_quadrature(module):simps(interface)]](y, dx [, even])`

If the size of `y` is zero or one, the result is zero.

### Description

Given an array of abscissas `x`, computes the array of weights `w` such that if `y` represented function values tabulated at `x`, then `sum(w*y)` produces a Simpson's rule approximation to the integral.

Is this a private auxiliary function where you know that the actual argument for x will be contiguous in practice, or is this a public user-callable function? (I haven't looked carefully at the whole component to know.) If it is the latter, I don't think you want to be declaring x as an explicit-shape array, dimension(size(y)). This implies F77-style argument passing, and if the actual argument isn't contiguous it will do an implicit copy-in of that argument to a contiguous temporary and pass it instead. Clearly x and y need to have the same size, but that style of declaration does nothing whatsoever to ensure that that is the case (in fact it hides the true length of the actual argument). This really requires a run-time check or assertion, with x declared as an assumed-shape array.

This routine is public by way of the generic trapz interface, so your comment is germane. I have no complaints about using assumed-shape declaration here, but I need to educate myself more on array argument passing to understand why it matters. It is a little surprising to learn that the explicit-shape declaration introduces a temporary for non-contiguous actual arguments, whereas the assumed-shape declaration does not.

What is described is just the implementation detail of (a) specific compiler(s). Although I didn't have the time to check, I strongly doubt that any of such considerations are present in the standard.

It's quite true that this isn't explicitly stated in the standard, however it is implied. The array ${t1}$, dimension(size(y)), intent(in) :: x is simply contiguous (6.5.4) whereas the corresponding actual argument need not be. The only way for that to work is for the array data to be reorganized into contiguous storage.

Are you sure that the only possible way to match a non-contiguous array with a contiguous one is by implicit copy-in? I don't know the answer.

Thanks for the recommendation! I like the approach of making the in-argument assumed shape, and then later benchmarking against making it contiguous as well.

A related questions is if function results should also be assumed-shape. E.g.,

function trapz_weights_dp(x) result(w)
real(dp), dimension(:), intent(in) :: x
real(dp), dimension(size(x)) :: w ! explicit-shape result
! real(dp), dimension(:), allocatable :: w ! assumed-shape result
...
end function trapz_weights_dp

The discussion in #114 suggests that allocatable function results are undesirable. Do I understand right that an explicit-shape result is still expected to be the better option?

I'm not sure there was any conclusion in #114 as to which performed better. The issue probably being whether the array was allocated on the stack or the heap. I haven't looked to see how you're using this particular function, but personally I've switched to generally avoiding array-valued functions altogether, as I feel this results in a lot of unnecessary allocations/deallocations of memory that passing the result as an argument avoids. I'm not really confident that compiler optimizers are able to eliminate these.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an "assumed-shape" function result. It's just an allocatable.

@klausler, thanks for that excellent advice and explanation. @milancurcic we should put this recommendation somewhere in our tutorial section or FAQ, as this question will keep coming up often.

I have just pushed a commit that makes the x argument of trapz_x_* and simps_x_* assumed-shape with a runtime check on its size. Thanks, @nncarlson, for raising the point, and @epagone and @klausler for the discussion.
