<div dir="ltr">Hello<div><br></div><div>I suspect that a beta cycle is not enough and that some toolbox developers or other users are not aware of this coming change.

<pre>Hello (again) Scilab devs,
TLDR: I don't want to re-open the []+"" behavior change flame-war but just to remove a
warning on working Scilab 6 code and ask you about the merge timing.
After the []+"" behavior change, the oldEmptyBehaviour has been introduced by Pierre-Aimé to ease
the transition from Scilab 5 to Scilab 6. This will help user transitioning using the beta version
and thanks to that we also fix some issues in Scilab itself.
However, the current implementation display a warning in both Scilab 5 enforced and Scilab 6
execution mode. I proposed a patchset [1] to remove the warning in the Scilab 6 execution mode but
preserve it on the Scilab 5 mode (eg. after a call to oldEmptyBehaviour("on") ).
What's your thought about this change ? should we pass it now or after the 6.0.0 release ? Is the
beta cycle sufficient enough to manage the behavior change ?</pre>

I am afraid that i do not catch all what you mean.<br>
With "Scilab 5 enforced execution mode", do you mean in Scilab 6
with oldEmptyBehaviour("on")
mode?<br>
So, instead of using this mode to still ACCEPT and NOT warn users
whether []+a is met, it would warn users,<br>
while in oldEmptyBehaviour("off"), meeting []+a would no longer warn
users?<br>
<br>
If what i understand above is right: imo, enabling users to ignore
this warning by masking it would be <br>
quite "dangerous", because changing this behavior has consequences
as serious as quiet.<br>
<br>
BTW:<br>
* This would be a first case of Switch-warning-on-specific-case
application. <br>
To be discussed in the "upgrade warning() thread" <br>
* The discussion with Eric and other users is not a flame-war. The
more i modified my code about this feature, <br>
the more i thought that even if "[]+a == a" is not "logical", it
is very handy, it does not hurt, and it prevents nothing. <br>
Removing it compels to add as many if/then/else. <i>And what
for</i>?<br>
<br>
