@tanmaykm tanmaykm commented Sep 8, 2018

put!(ch::Channel{T}, v) should convert v to type T.

This can prevent errors like:

julia> c = Channel{Int}(0)
Channel{Int64}(sz_max:0,sz_curr:0)

julia> @async put!(c, :a)
Task (runnable) @0x00007ff5b9d79270

julia> isready(c) && take!(c)
ERROR: TypeError: in take_unbuffered, in typeassert, expected Int64, got Symbol

It's no longer a performance issue to reuse the name v for this. Style is a different question, but I thought I'd mention it.

Thanks. I was partly skeptical when I did this. Will add a commit to reuse name.

`put!(ch::Channel{T}, v)` should convert `v` to type `T`.

This can prevent errors like:

```
julia> c = Channel{Int}(0)
Channel{Int64}(sz_max:0,sz_curr:0)

julia> @async put!(c, :a)
Task (runnable) @0x00007ff5b9d79270

I think this is a bugfix, but will see what triage thinks about backporting.

I'd be curious to hear what @DatName's objection to this is.

@StefanKarpinski I think, that if you are explicitly creating a channel for Int, you should not be putting some other stuff in there silently. It is easy to do a convertion explicitly on user's side, if needed, so no need for this "behind-the-curtains-magic", so to speak.

I see your point of view. However, we do automatic conversion when values are put into typed contexts of all kinds already. Our conversions are quite strict about what conversions they will do without error: the value must be convertible exactly or an InexactError will be thrown.

For values that aren't convertible (e.g. a string) this gives an error sooner than we did before.
