Type piracy with OffsetArrays #3

Open Vexatos opened 4 years ago

Vexatos commented 4 years ago

See https://github.com/Vexatos/CircularArrays.jl/pull/2#issuecomment-581382145 by @yha and https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl/issues/87. This needs to be solved, but there currently isn't any good way to do that. Would probably have to create a hard dependency on OffsetArrays until this is fixed in Base, which is really ugly and I'd rather not do it.

Another option might be to use Requires.jl at least until https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/1285 is resolved. That's also very ugly and the glue code won't precompile, but it is probably better than a hard dependency, although it'd just be a hard dependency on Requires instead...
