I don't think this is a 32- vs 64-bit issue. For example, both of these fail: let f : CGFloat = Float(1.0) let g : CGFloat = Double(1.0) > Rick: You could just define your own CGFloat constant equal to M_PI. (You > could even name it π …!) I guess, but that's not really the problem. I think it would not be unusual for code in one place to produce Double (or other arithmetic type) values that you then want to pass to CG. But you have to explicitly convert them. Seems very clunky to me. I prefer C's approach where a conversion that doesn't lose data is allowed, and you can turn on warnings for ones that might lose data. > > —Jens > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/rmann%40latencyzero.com > > This email sent to rm...@latencyzero.com -- Rick Mann rm...@latencyzero.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
