How can I tell if a compilation is happening?

General Usage
1

If I have a type struct Foo{N} end and N is intended to be a value, do methods on Foo{N} where N get compiled for each value of N or each type? For example, if I have a function foo_stuff(f::Foo{N}) where {N} and I call it with a Foo{Int(6)}, a Foo{Int8(6)} and a Foo{Int(5)}, do I get two separately compiled versions or three?

You get 3. The parameter of a type is part of the type, so each different parameter value will be compiled differently. If you don’t want this, you probably don’t want to parametrize Foo on N.

Thanks! That makes sense.
