Dope vector
In computer programming, a dope vector is a data structure used to hold information about an array, especially its memory layout.
A dope vector contains information about the rank of an array, the extents of an array, and the stride of an array.
It is often used in compilers to pass entire arrays between procedures in a high level language like Fortran.
