Perhaps you could include the function amongst the elements of the type?
immutable MyArray
array::Array
fill::Function
MyArray(array)=new(array,i->fill!(array,i))
end
B=MyArray(zeros(5,2));
B.array
5x2 Array{Float64,2}:
0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0
B.fill(1);
B.array
5x2 Array{Float64,2}:
1.0 1.0
1.0 1.0
1.0 1.0
1.0 1.0
1.0 1.0
Does that help? Note that I have no idea how well it would perform in terms
of optimisation.
