mtlb_imp — Matlab colon emulation function
Matlab and Scilab colon behave differently in some particular cases:
With empty matrices: The :
operator must be used with scalars in Scilab and
gives an error message when used with empty matrices while Matlab returns [] in these cases.
The function mtlb_imp(A,B[,C])
is used by
mfile2sci
to replace A:B[:C]
when it was not
possible to know what were the operands while porting Matlab code to Scilab. This function will
determine the correct semantic at run time. If you want to have a
more efficient code it is possible to replace mtlb_imp
calls:
If A
, B
and C
are not empty matrices
mtlb_imp(A,B[,C])
may be replaced by A:B[:C]
Caution: mtlb_imp
has not to be used for hand coded functions.
