Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing ArrayFire wrapper representation for index-related data and reviewing how C-style unions are handled. Done means adding af_index_t to the wrapper while avoiding the CPU/GPU data shuttling described in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

question

The struct af_index_t is not yet present in the ArrayFire wrapper. The use of C-style unions has confused our efforts to add this. Right now we are exploring shucking data back and forth between the CPU and GPU to emulate this functionality but this not as fast as using methods/structs which keep data on the GPU.
