[Caml-list] Bigarray "mimic"

[Christophe TROESTLER]

Hi everybody,

Is there a way to create a Bigarray (resp. Array1, Array2, Array3) of
the same type (especially layout) as a given one without resorting to
some C routine (maybe with some Obj.magic ???) -- I do not want to
copy the original array.

Cheers,
ChriS

It's only a couple of days that I have reported this shortcoming, and
Xavier has already fixed it in the CVS. You can now query both the layout
and the kind by writing, e.g. "Array1.layout ar" or "Array1.kind ar"
as required for creating similar arrays.
