Description

I notice that generic_fft allows me to fft BigFloat, which is great!

I found however that I couldn't do the usual thing with FFTW, e.g.

generic_fft(X,2)

for only DFTing along the rows:

FastTransforms.generic_fft(BigFloat.(randn(20,20))+im*BigFloat.(randn(20,20)),2)

ERROR: UndefVarError: ret not defined
Stacktrace:
 [1] generic_fft(x::Matrix{Complex{BigFloat}}, region::Int64)
   @ FastTransforms ~/.julia/packages/FastTransforms/spjz2/src/fftBigFloat.jl:35
 [2] top-level scope
   @ REPL[19]:1

Is it possible?

Research direction

Start in src/fftBigFloat.jl at the generic_fft method for a matrix and region argument, using the reported generic_fft(X, 2) call to reproduce the UndefVarError. Trace how the regional transform result is assigned and verify that a transform along the requested dimension returns successfully with the expected shape and values.
