Until recently, I was only using arrays with ndim=7, and everything worked perfectly. However, upon adding an eighth dimension I received a \"More dimensions than the maximum number of buffer dimensions were used.\" error upon compilation.\r\n\r\nIs this a fundamental limit or can it be changed? I have resorted to using the numpy buffer interface with ndim=8, but there is a performance loss. Would a future version of cython allow for a larger/customisable number of buffer dimensions?
