$Version : "4.0 for Linux (April 21, 1999)"
Implementing some basic functions, I get the following discrepancy :
EuclidianDistance1[p_List, q_List] :=
Check[With[{m = p - q}, N at Sqrt[m.m]], $Failed]
EuclidianDistance3 :=
Check[Compile[{{p, _Real, 1}, {q, _Real, 1}},
With[{m = p - q}, Sqrt[m.m]]], $Failed]
These two functions are ok, and the compiled form about four times faster.
The Check prevents obviously inconsistent results to propagate, like in the
following situation (two points in different dimensions) :
EuclidianDistance1[{1., 2., 3.}, {1., 2., 3., 4.}]
Thread::"tdlen": "Objects of unequal length in \!\(\(\({1.`, 2.`, 3.`}\)\) + \
\(\({\(\(-1.`\)\), \(\(-2.`\)\), \(\(-3.`\)\), \(\(-4.`\)\)}\)\)\) cannot be \
combined."
Out[96]=
$Failed
Which is what expected : the return value is $Failed
Now :
EuclidianDistance3[{1., 2., 3.}, {1., 2., 3., 4.}]
CompiledFunction::"cflist": "Non-tensor object generated; proceeding with \
uncompiled evaluation."
Thread::"tdlen": "Objects of unequal length in \!\(\(\({1.`, 2.`, 3.`}\)\) + \
\(\({\(\(-1.`\)\), \(\(-2.`\)\), \(\(-3.`\)\), \(\(-4.`\)\)}\)\)\) cannot be \
combined."
\!\(\ at \(\(({1.`, 2.`, 3.`} + {\(-1.`\), \(-2.`\), \(-3.`\), \(-4.`\)})\) . \
\(({1.`, 2.`, 3.`} + {\(-1.`\), \(-2.`\), \(-3.`\), \(-4.`\)})\)\)\)
The return value is in this case an unevaluated expression, while $Failed is
expected.
Bug ?
