mtlb_uint32

Matlab uint32 emulation function

Description

Matlab and Scilab uint32 behave differently in some particular cases:

• With complex input: Matlab uint32 can be used with complex values what Scilab function can not.
• With %inf: Matlab uint32 returns 4294967295 and Scilab returns 0.

The function mtlb_uint32(A) is used by mfile2sci to replace uint32(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_uint32 calls:

• If A does not contain %inf values mtlb_uint32(A) may be replaced by uint32(A)

Caution: mtlb_uint32 has not to be used for hand coded functions.
