Re: [julia-users] howto import fix_dec?

[Jeffrey Sarnoff]

thanks, I think I found the problem -- my float() function should force 
Float64

I thought I could specialize fix_dec(), the catchall is something like 
`fix_dec(x::AbstractFloat, n::Int)` and I had intended to define 
`fix_dec{P}(x::ArbFloat{P}, n::Int)`.

What are you trying to override?
Overriding a definition and calling the old on in it isn't supported.

[julia-users] howto import fix_dec?

[Jeffrey Sarnoff]

I got this error
ERROR: StackOverflowError:
 in fix_dec(::ArbFloats.ArbFloat{116}, ::Int64) at ./printf.jl:932 (repeats 
8 times)


I tried to import Base.fix_dec, Core.fix_dec to override the definition -- 
neither worked.
