Julia convert BitArray to Integer array

[Sweta Yamini]

Hi,

I am new to Julia. I have an N X N BitArray that I want to pack to Uint8 of size N X ceil(N/8)

I tried to reinterpret the array as

packed = reinterpret(Uint8, mybitarray)

but it gives me an error "auto_unbox: unable to determine argument type"

I tried

packed = convert(Array{Uint8}, bitpack(mybitarray))

but it just gives me an N X N Uint8 array with 0 and 1.

Could you help me with this?

Try `reinterpret(UInt8, x.chunks)`
