Hi. I’ve defined some parametric structs like those defined in the Performance Tips section of the Julia manual. Since some of the structs had quite long names, I decided to alias them. I was struggling to wrap my head around why @btime was so slow and why @code_warntype was giving me errors when I…

You need to make the short name a const.

const ShStruct = LongStructName
