The error actually makes sense:
- When you're asking for the transpose, it creates an empty b = Array(T1, 1,
3)
- It then assigns a[1] to the first element of b[1]
- Assignment does this: b[1] = convert(T1, a[1]) because T1 is the eltype of b
- convert(T1, a[1]) is equivalent to T1(a[1])
- T1(x) is equivalent to T1(convert(Int, x)), because the first (only) field of
T1 is Int. But you haven't defined a method for that, and that's what it tells
you.
That said, I agree that in this case it's a bit confusing. If you have any
good ideas for how to improve the error message without requiring mind-
reading, please do make suggestions.
