[help-wanted] The example does't work

[wusualis]

Hello. When I follow the Usage example:

import "lib/github.com/athas/vector/vector"
module vector_2 = cat_vector vector_1 vector_1
module vector_3 = cat_vector vector_2 vector_1
module vector_5 = cat_vector vector_2 vector_3
module vector_8 = cat_vector vector_5 vector_3

let main (xs: [vector_8.length]i32) =
  xs
  |> vector_8.from_array
  |> vector_8.map (+1)
  |> vector_8.to_array

this error ocurried: Dimensions "vector_8.length" and "8" do not match.

I can't fix it. Please help.

Which version of the Futhark compiler are you using? This works for me.

Which version of the Futhark compiler are you using? This works for me.

My version is Futhark 0.20.0

I use it in interactive interface,does it matter?

[athas]

That shouldn't matter. I have tried passing the exact code you list to the compiler, loading it into the REPL, and copied it line-by-line into the REPL (with Futhark 0.20.0) and it works for me.

I have uploaded the img at the top.

Due to limitations in the type system, vector_8.length is not statically known to be 8 by the type checker, so you need an ugly size coercion:

main (xs :> [vector_8.length]i32)

I usually define a wrapper function:

let vec xs = vector_8.from_array (take vector_8.length)

I'll keep the issue open to remind me to improve the example in the README.
