See the following results​:

$ perl6 -Ilib t/01-basic.t 
Type check failed in binding; expected NativeCall​::Types​::CArray[num64] but got NativeCall​::Types​::CA...
  in submethod BUILD at /home/itoyota/Programs/p6-Algorithm-LibSVM/lib/Algorithm/LibSVM/Parameter.pm6 (Algorithm​::LibSVM​::Parameter) line 28
  in block <unit> at t/01-basic.t line 9

X​::TypeCheck.gotn​:

https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/nom/src/core/Exception.pm#L1972-L1979

$ perl6 -e '"NativeCall​::Types​::CA".chars.say'
21

I think that that limitation of the number of characters (i.e. 21) is too short for displaying types in NativeCall.

I'm very sorry. I can't remember exactly how to generate this error, I just remember is that I assigned a CArray[num64] object to a CArray[num64] variable.

Well, that's very unfortunate, as that means I have no way to reproduce the issue you're reporting.

You point at a line of core code, but it's not causing any issues in all of the type check errors I've managed to reproduce (and people on IRC whom I asked this question twice managed to reproduce).

I don't want to twiddle random length limits, when the correct solution is to not cut off any names when they're significant.

And it seems the reason this circumstance gets triggered is due to a bug​: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-01-21#i_13966550
