From bug-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Fri Jan 30 12:47:56 2004 Subject: bug in load-save.cc in 2.1.53 From: Luke Sjulson To: bug-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2004 13:43:42 -0500 hello, I was having problems loading in a .mat file from matlab that has a structure in it in 2.1.53. Interestingly, this works in 2.1.52. If, in matlab, you do the following commands: wotan(1).walyz = 1; wotan(2).walyz = 2; wotan(1).kill = 1; wotan(2).kill = 2; save wotan wotan and then try to load wotan.mat in octave 2.1.53, you get error: invalid structure assignment but it works in octave 2.1.52. I don't know if this is exactly a "bug" or not, but it is a matlab incompatibility. I suspect the fix is pretty trivial, but I'm not so good at c++ so hopefully someone can figure it out. btw, does anyone know how to shut off the matlab incompatibility warnings you get in 2.1.53 when you run octave --traditional? thanks a lot, -- Lucas L.
