This is how ComponentArrays used to do type printing, but we had to get rid of it because it tends to break a lot of things

Base.print_type_stacktrace was supposed to be the solution to this, but if it’s not working anymore, I’m not sure what to do. We don’t want to potentially cause a segfault for someone.

Ah, I should have thought that I am reinventing the wheel here 😄

I took a look at the current Julia's show code that is used for stacktraces but I found it too complicated, and it made me think that overriding something "private" there might be dangerous (for example, I generated too many StackOverflows while playing around with overriding things there 😵‍💫)

How about:

  • We open a new discourse thread to discuss this again with the community, since no good solution seems to exist as of now
  • Keep overriding the show as per this PR, but only when a preference is set. Update the Readme accordingly.


Base.show(io::IO, ci::ComponentIndex) = print(io, "ComponentIndex($(ci.idx), $(ci.ax))")




# Show ComponentArrays
_print_type_short(io, ca; color=:normal) = _print_type_short(io, typeof(ca); color=color)

Assuming that the approach of this PR looks good, I guess we can remove all _print_type_shorts and the Base.print_type_stacktrace that I understand is not working on recent version of julia?

_print_type_short(io, T::Type; color=:normal) = printstyled(io, T; color=color)
