Subject: Introduction of fractions exposes uniform vector prototype bug
Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 18:02:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1AOmCE-0002XD-Q4@chunk> (raw)
In the silly uniform vector (and array) prototype system, the
canonical prototype for uniform double vectors is (according to the
entry on uniform arrays in the manual) 1/3.
However, since 1/3 is no longer a real, uniform vector creation with
this prototype fails...
I have no good suggestion for what to do about this, but one thing is
certain: We can't suggest people to use 1/3 as prototype for double
arrays (at least now without modifying scm_make_uve).
Note also, that prototypes like 1.0 menas uniform float array...

(Who leaves this problem for somebody else to fix.)
