Outer constructors with a field of static vector

New to Julia

The default constructors generated seem different.

julia> methods(test1)
# 2 methods for type constructor:
[1] test1(t::SArray{Tuple{5},AbstractFloat,1,5}) in Main at REPL[6]:2
[2] test1(t) in Main at REPL[6]:2

julia> methods(test2)
# 1 method for type constructor:
[1] (::Type{test2})(t::SArray{Tuple{5},T,1,5}) where T<:AbstractFloat in Main at REPL[7]:2

test1 has an extra method that can convert any type to an SArray, while test2 doesn’t. You can add your own though:

julia> test2(v::AbstractVector{T}) where {T<:AbstractFloat} = test2{T}(SVector{5,T}(v))
test2

julia> test2([1.0:5.0...])
test2{Float64}([1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0])
