+Module : Data.Array.Accelerate.C
+Description : Sequential C backend for Accelerate
+Copyright : (c) Tom Smeding, 2021
+License : MIT
+Maintainer : x+accelerate@tomsmeding.com
+Stability : experimental
+Portability : non-portable (GHC extensions)
+
+This is a sequential C backend to Accelerate.
+
+Arrays are flattened in the C code: a two-dimensional array with elements of
+type @Float@ is encoded as a row-major single-dimensional array of type
+@float*@ in C. The indexing is the same as for the @linearIndex@ function from
+Accelerate.
+
+Because of the choices made in representing arrays as arguments to the
+generated C functions, using this backend may require a (basic) understanding
+of how Accelerate internally represents arrays (i.e. the so-called
+/representation types/). However, this only really becomes relevant if you use
+self-defined data types or sum types like @Maybe@, since otherwise it should be
+intuitive enough for casual use. These representation types show up in the
+precise form of the argument and output variable descriptors ('CArrTupNames')
+returned by 'translateAcc', and they influence the ordering of the arguments to the
+C functions.

+-- | The function passed should have exactly one argument (that may consist of
+-- multiple arrays in a tuple, of course). The string argument determines the
+-- name of the top-level generated C function.
+--
+-- The result consists of:
+--
+-- 1. C source code (including required prelude) defining, ultimately, a C
+-- function that implements the top-level Accelerate array function.
+-- 2. The variable names corresponding to the components of the argument of the
+-- top-level function.
+-- 3. The variable names corresponding to the components of the result of the
+-- top-level function. These are out-arguments (i.e. pointer arguments) to
+-- that function.
+--
+-- For an example of how the produced function looks and how the variable name
+-- containers describe its arguments, see the documentation of 'CArrTupNames'.
+--
+-- Note that the variable name descriptors refer to the /representation types/
+-- of the input and output of the array function. This essentially means that
+-- the type has been converted to a form using only pairs and arrays. (This is
+-- the internal representation of data types in Accelerate.)
