I have a function signature with the following: @njit((float32[:], ListType(float32[:]), ListType(float32[:]), ListType(int64[:]), int64[:], ListType(int64[:]), int64[:], float64[:], float64[:], float64, float64, float64[:], ListType(int64[:])), parallel=True) However, I still obtain an error mess…

float32[:] is array(float32, 1d, A). To get array(float32, 1d, C), you need to write float32[::1]. (This may not be the main/only reason, perhaps there is some other issue as well, but for C ordered arrays you should at least write the indexing as ::1).

Interesting…. Can you work up a minimal reproducer complete program that shows the problem?

Thank you, this solves the issue. However I don’t understand why it doesn’t match since the documentation says that A means any layout, which means in principle, shouldn’t C work as well?

On this topic, in the future, a good way to debug such error messages is to temporarily remove the explicit signature, call the function, and print <func_name>.nopython_signatures. Then compare the so printed signature with what you are trying to overload your function with. EDIT: Oops, didn’t real…

Function signature matches but still fails

Numba Support: What is this error message?

For next time, it may be better to let Numba infer the signature and then inspect it with nopython_signatures. That’ll likely show what @gmarkall referenced
