Weird behaviors of pmap across version of julia

[rszoh]

When I run a piece of code in Julia 0.3.5 it runs perfectly but in other version like0 .3.6 and 0.3.7 it does not. I get this error:
convert has no method matching convert(::Type{Int64...}, ::Int64), which makes not sense to me, since convert has a method like that!

@rszoh, thanks for the issue. However, without some code demonstrating your problem, it's impossible to debug. Can you post a code snippet and the exact output that it produces? A small example would be appreciated. Thanks!

I made a post before reporting the issue and here is the link https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-users/bWvsJqCCEEk

when it works I get:

Warning: could not import Base.add! into NumericExtensions
Done!

However, when it fails on Julia 0.3.6 and 0.3.7 I get the following error:

I hope that's not too much,

Many thanks!

Is this still an issue on 0.3.8 with the latest updates to Devectorize and NumericExtensions?

Reduced case (from that email thread, thanks to @binarybana)

test.jl:

using Devectorize
function myfun(pam) 
  println("Entering myfun")
  foo = ones(5)
    @devec x = sum(foo)
  println("exiting myfun")
  return x
end

test with:

parm = rand(10,10)
M = { parm[i,:] for i in 1:2} # size(parm,1)}
require("test.jl")
pmap(myfun,M)

I can't reproduce this problem on the current Julia master (b6c0d95) and Devectorize (754cc06), so I'll close for now. @rszoh, please reopen if this is still an issue for you.
