I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I can't follow your reasoning. An optional argument that defaults to False (i.e. ElementWise(type_checking=False)) wouldn't break compatibility, wouldn't prevent from trickery (if it's set to False). And performance cost only if it's turned on, no? Otherwise an ElementWise kernel would be created without a type check. -Thomas _______________________________________________ PyCUDA mailing list PyCUDA@tiker.net http://lists.tiker.net/listinfo/pycuda
