When working with multiple SharedArrays, I used to be able to do:
julia> x = SharedArray(Float64,1)
1-element SharedArray{Float64,1}:
0.0
julia> similar(x)
1-element SharedArray{Float64,1}:
0.0
When I got to the office this morning, I was close to a heart attack, as
all my model outputs that were computed overnight made no sense whatsoever,
and no git revert was able to restore them. I finally figured out that the
reason was an update to 0.4.0-rc1, wher I'm getting:
julia> x = SharedArray(Float64,1)
1-element SharedArray{Float64,1}:
0.0
julia> similar(x)
1-element SharedArray{Float64,1}:
0.0
Is this expected/intended?
(And, while I'm at it, bonus question for SharedArray experts: is the pids
keyword necessary when creating the array? I can't figure out from
sharedarray.jl what happens when it is left out.)
