Plans to move to StaticArrays?

[jw3126]

Since FixedSizeArrays will get replaced by StaticArrays are there plans to port GeometryTypes.jl to StaticArrays?

Sorry, I moved this quite low on my current priority list.
Although, I tried lately to make a quick move, but noticed that StaticArrays doesn't allow me to inherit from it to create new types. Am I overlooking something, @andyferris?

[andyferris]

Hmm? It should be easy to inherit from StaticArray. What issues are you having, Simon? (You must define size on the type and a constructor that accepts a tuple).

[andyferris]

If you look at the files in StaticArraays which introduce new types you should get a good idea. For instance see Point in the FixedSizeArrays submodule to StaticArrays.

Lol.... okay very good, I thought it was possible :) Not sure in what state of mind I revoked that and decided that it wasn't possible :P

[andyferris]

Ok you had me worried that something was broken :). Carry on.
