This release makes generally available the new, 64bit index support for testing, evaluation, use, development and feedback. The only difference from the current PDL git master branch is the introduction of a PDL_Index type that can be 64bits if your perl IV type is.
Bit of a mixed bag for me, so far. (The following pertains only to builds on MS Windows.)
Many (all?) MS compilers need the attached patch to slices.pd.Even those MS compilers that don't *need* the patch (if there are any) should accept that patch ok. I don't know how to apply that fix to the relevant git repo version of slices.pd. (Presumably we don't want to alter the slices.pd that's in the main branch just yet.)
One thing I did notice is that the fftw and minuit test scripts don't check for $Config{WITH_FFTW} and $Config{WITH_MINUIT}. Consequently those test scripts were being run against the installed version of those modules - and failing, of course. I'll fix those 2 test scripts in the main branch when I get a chance (if no-one does it beforehand).
Other than that, my perls whose ivsize is 8 tested fine - but I haven't yet had a chance to broaden the field to include any additional modules.
My perls whose ivsize is 4 don't fare so well. Attached is the output (gzipped) of running 'dmake test' with 32-bit perl-5.16.0. (The tests fare pretty much the same with 5.8.8 - which is as far back as I go.)
Hope to get a chance to take a closer look at this soon - but I have limited opportunities for that over the next 4 or 5 days.
In the meantime, maybe the attached files are of some assistance to you. More later. Cheers, Rob
