So this is some kind of hack way of getting something a bit like Haskell type classes, you’re basically saying int32_t and int64_t are of class “Integer”.
I suppose you could think of it that way, but it's really not that formal.
This also explains the conflict for me, because Felix is the opposite: it aims to make the types of things more precise (and has actual type classes for generalisation).
To define them any more precisely, Cython would need to know how things vary depending on the platform, which would mean conditional compilation, etc. It's much easier to leave all that up to the C compiler and system headers. It also ensures that there can't be any mismatch between the two. -- Greg _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
