I just found this merge request again and looked at why three tests were failing. These tests use Field.create_generic("buffer", spatial_dimensions=1, index_dimensions=1, field_type=FieldType.BUFFER). The resulting field still has 2-dimensional indexing, but the array created later by the datahandling only has 1-dimensional, so getting its size along the second axis fails. I did not even know we supported 1-dimensional fields. Note that test_buffer_gpu.py has several tests that look similar but don't have index_dimensions=1, so perhaps it's related to the index dimensions. In either case, it seems like it's the fault of the test and not the fault of my merge request. I'll see if I can get modify the test to consistently use 1 dimension.

I've fixed it -- the actual problem is that field.shape contains spatial and index dimensions, but here we only want the spatial ones.

The new test case is failing on ppc64le but nowhere else, with error: redeclaration of ‘const __vector double _tmp_d3293212’. I'll need to have a look at that.
