Hey @0PrashantYadav0 ! I have a question regarding the architectural design for @stdlib/blas/ext/base/ndarray/sfill.

Currently, I've implemented it as a pure JavaScript wrapper that delegates directly to the underlying strided C implementation via @stdlib/blas/ext/base/sfill (similar to how sfill-nan and dfill-nan are structured).

However, I noticed that some packages like @stdlib/blas/ext/base/ndarray/dsum have their own dedicated C addon (src/addon.c, binding.gyp, etc.) and serialize the metadata directly to C.

Should sfill remain a pure JS delegator to @stdlib/blas/ext/base/sfill, or do you prefer that I implement a dedicated C addon and compile configuration for it similar to dsum?

The name of PR is also not correct. I recommend you do a self review before you open PR for review ( it will help you to understand code and find the larger issues earlier )

[0PrashantYadav0]

@AryanSharma48 It should definitely remain a pure JS delegator.
Since the base module (@stdlib/blas/ext/base/sfill) already exposes a native C implementation for the .ndarray API, we can simply delegate to it directly.

@0PrashantYadav0 Thanks again for the review and for calling out the title slip-up!

I've updated the PR title to accurately reflect that this is the JS wrapper implementation. I have also pushed commits addressing all of your code review suggestions.
