I am struggling to understand the type instability of function foo(x,y,z,r) r_prime = Point3D(x,y,z) result = r - rprime end given as input x = 0.; y = 0.; z = 0.; r = Point3D(1.,1.,1.) @code_warntype foo(x,y,z,r) The output I obtain is MethodInstance for foo(::Float64, ::Float64, ::…

It is very likely that Point3D is somehow an alias for SVector, and the source of type instability is rprime (in result = r - rprime), which is some leftover from the running session (of type Any) and should be r_prime instead.
