The issue here is that `jl_array_eltype` is already returning a type. `jl_typeis(v, t)` becomes `jl_typeof(v) == t`, so your checks become:
jl_typeof(array_type) == jl_int64_type But jl_typeof(array_type) -> DataType Instead, either do the equality check directly: array_type == jl_int64_type Or use the exported API only (jlapi.c): strcmp(jl_typename_str(array_type), jl_typename_str(jl_int64_type)) On Tue, Oct 18, 2016 at 7:52 PM, Kyle Kotowick <k...@kotowick.ca> wrote: > I apologize for the formatting, that should be: > > jl_value_t *ret = jl_eval_string(code_string); > void* array_type = jl_array_eltype(ret); > jl_array_t *ret_array = (jl_array_t*)ret; > > if (jl_typeis(array_type, jl_int64_type)) { > long *data = (long*) jl_array_data(ret_array); > } > else if (jl_typeis(array_type, jl_float64_type)) { > double *data = (double*) jl_array_data(ret_array); > } > > > And the issue is that even if it is an Int64 or Float64, neither of those > IF statements will return true. > > > > On Sunday, 16 October 2016 21:36:03 UTC-4, Kyle Kotowick wrote: >> >> Awesome, thanks.
