mtlb_ones

Matlab ones emulation function

Description

Matlab and Scilab ones behave differently in some particular cases:

• With a scalar input: Matlab ones returns a n x n matrix while Scilab returns a 1.

The function mtlb_ones(A) is used by mfile2sci to replace ones(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_ones calls:

• If A is a scalar mtlb_ones(A) may be replaced by ones(A,A)
• If A is not a scalar mtlb_ones(A) may be replaced by ones(A)

Caution: mtlb_ones has not to be used for hand coded functions.
