mtlb_uint8 — Matlab uint8 emulation function
Matlab and Scilab uint8
behave differently in some particular cases:
With complex input: Matlab uint8
can be used with complex values what Scilab function can not.
With %inf
: Matlab uint8
returns 255 and Scilab returns 0.
The function mtlb_uint8(A)
is used by
mfile2sci
to replace uint8(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_uint8
calls:
If A
does not contain %inf
values
mtlb_uint8(A)
may be replaced by uint8(A)
Caution: mtlb_uint8
has not to be used for hand coded functions.
