[swift-users] returning an array of Protocol-conforming objects from a function

[Ryan Walklin]

Hi All,

I have a function which returns a closure, which then returns an array of objects conforming to a protocol. 

ie. 

protocol MyProtocol {}

extension Float: MyProtocol {}
extension OtherType: MyProtocol {}

When I try to return an array of Floats, I get the error “Cannot convert value of type '[Float]' to closure result type ‘[MyProtocol]”.

Other struct-based types work fine.

Is this not possible with standard library types?

Regards,

Ryan
