[Cilib-users] getType () in Vector

[<lab...@gm...>]

Hi!

I'm now trying to integrate 0.7 with my code.

I have a solution vector composed of bits and reals, so I need a  
positionupdate method that takes care of this mix of data types.
I have a PositionUpdateStrategyMixin class that takes care of that but it  
relies on getType(index) to get the type of the element in the solution  
vector. However, this method is protected in the Vector container class.  
Why is it protected? I did recompile cilib to change that but maybe you  
have another suggestion?

TIA,
