mtlb_int16 — Matlab int16 emulation function
Matlab and Scilab int16
behave differently in some particular cases:
With complex input: Matlab int16
can be used with complex values what Scilab function can not.
With %inf
: Matlab int16
returns 32767 and Scilab returns -32768.
With %nan
: Matlab int16
returns 0 and Scilab returns -32768.
With -%nan
: Matlab int16
returns 0 and Scilab returns -32768.
The function mtlb_int16(A)
is used by
mfile2sci
to replace int16(A)
when it was not
possible to know what was the input 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_int16
calls:
If A
does not contain %inf
, %nan
or -%nan
values
mtlb_int16(A)
may be replaced by int16(A)
Caution: mtlb_int16
has not to be used for hand coded functions.
