I am not sure it is implemented as ufunc. But in any case it was just an example. Another example is sin(2*pi*w+phi) that is currently implemented allocating a temporary vector for (2*pi*w), another temporary vector for (2*pi*w+phi) and another for sin(2*pi*w+phi). With my patch only the first temporary vector is allocated, then it is reused twice and finally returned. One allocation instead of three. All this happens under the hood and is completely transparent to the user. Best, Luca P.S.
