Re: Macro vs template: array base type change at declaration

[coffeepot]

I was just considering this situation last night when playing with opengl.

OderWat - that's the solution I'm using, but it does get a bit awkward 
sometimes:
    
    
    import opengl
    
    var x: array[4, GLVectorf2] =
      [
      [1.0.GLFloat, 1.0],
      [1.0.GLFloat, 1.0],
      [1.0.GLFloat, 1.0],
      [1.0.GLFloat, 1.0]
      ]
    

I wondered if I could use a converter to automatically downgrade float64 to 
GLfloat but this didn't change anything (maybe I'm using it wrong?):
    
    
    import opengl
    
    converter toGLFloat(i: float): GLfloat = i.GLfloat
    
    var x: array[4, GLVectorf2] =
      [ # got array constructor for float64 but expected GLfloat
      [1.0, 1.0],
      [1.0, 1.0],
      [1.0, 1.0],
      [1.0, 1.0]
      ]
