M2SCI function
m2scideclare - Giving tips to help M2SCI...
Description
The main difficulty for M2SCI (
mfile2sci
) is to find what variables are: dimensions, type...
To help this tool, just add comments beginning with
%m2scideclare
in the M-file to convert,
(
%m2sciassume
was used in previous Scilab versions and is now obsolete).
The syntax of this command is:
%m2scideclare variable_name|dimensions|data_type|property
with :
-
-
-
variable_name: name of the variable declared. It can be a Struct field (e.g.
x(1,2).name
)
or describe the contents of a Cell using syntax
x(1,2).entries
.
-
dimensions: dimensions of the variable declared separated by blanks, if a dimension is unknown,
replace it by
?
. NOTE that String dimensions must be similar to Matlab ones
e.g.
1 6
for character string 'string'.
-
data_type: data type of the variable which can be:
| m2scideclare data type |
Scilab "equivalent" type |
| Double |
1 |
| Boolean |
4 |
| Sparse |
5 |
| Int |
8 |
| Handle |
9 |
| String |
10 |
| Struct |
Matlab struct (16) |
| Cell |
Matlab cell (17) |
| Void |
No type (0) |
| ? |
Unknown type |
-
property: property of the variable which can be:
| m2scideclare property |
Scilab "equivalent" |
| Real |
Real data |
| Complex |
Complex data |
| ? |
Unknown property |
This field is ignored for following datatypes:
Cell
,
Struct
,
String
and
Boolean
.
All data given by
m2scideclare
are compared with infered data,
in case of conflict, infered data are kept and a warning message is displayed.
If you are sure about your data, report a bug.
Some examples are given below:
-
-
-
%m2scideclare var1|2 3|Double|Real
: var1 is declared as a 2x3 Double matrix containing real data
-
%m2scideclare var2|2 3 10|Double|Complex
: var2 is declared as a 2x3x10 Double hypermatrix containing complex data
-
%m2scideclare var3(1,2).name|1 10|String|?
: var3 is declared as a Struct array containing a 1x10 character string
in field 'name' of struct at index (1,2)
-
%m2scideclare var4(1,5).entries|1 ?|Boolean|?
: var4 is declared as a Cell containing a row boolean vector at index (1,5)
-
%m2scideclare var4(1,6).entries|? ?|Int|?
: var4 is declared as a Cell containing a row boolean vector at index (1,5)
and integer data at index (1,6)
