It's just a leftover API restriction that will be removed in a future JDK version, see https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/panama-dev/2023-October/020106.html https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8318678 The upshot is that we cannot easily wrap these float[]'s now. But that may not be strictly necessary if we move to a different approach, as suggested by Uwe. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
