configuration of array[real] not safe

[wdeconinck]

A component with an option array[real] is configured with: [ 1 , 1.1 , 1.2 , 1.3 ]
Notice that the first element is not explicitly a floating point value

What got actually set is a vector of [ 1, 1 , 1 ,1 ] . So it truncated the floating point values.

This is unexpected and unsafe behavior . Especially because these values might just come from python variables of integer type.

This is by the way the reason why atest-sdm-euler-cylinder-2d test was failing. Before this was working correctly.

Can I assign @barche to fix this?

OK, I'm looking into changes to the option system anyway, required to properly use OptionComponent with Python and the GUI
