mtlb_uint16

Matlab uint16 emulation function

Description

Matlab and Scilab uint16 behave differently in some particular cases:

• With complex input: Matlab uint16 can be used with complex values what Scilab function can not.
• With %inf: Matlab uint16 returns 65535 and Scilab returns 0.

The function mtlb_uint16(A) is used by mfile2sci to replace uint16(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_uint16 calls:

• If A does not contain %inf values mtlb_uint16(A) may be replaced by uint16(A)

Caution: mtlb_uint16 has not to be used for hand coded functions.
