As cross-posting looks forbidden/prevented/canceled, i am afraid
that <a
href="http://mailinglists.scilab.org/algebra-conventions-with-integer-types-to-be-discussed-tp4038549p4038564.html">only
the dev@ list received both initial messages</a>.<br>
At least, <a
href="http://mailinglists.scilab.org/algebra-conventions-with-integer-types-to-be-discussed-tp4038549p4038564.html">only
the dev@ archives publish them</a>.<br>
Also, setting a scilab list in CC: while the main receiver is
another list looks also useless because it is silently canceled
(see the dev@ online archives).<br>

<br>
<br>
Integer types in Scilab are not smoothly implemented and there are
still some bugs and real questions to be discussed, specifically
on over/underflow, exceptions in divisions such as in
<br>
<br>
int8(1)/int8(0)
<br>
<br>
int8(-128)/int8(-1)
<br>
<br>
type of the result of mixed double/integer operations, such as
<br>
<br>
int8(1) + %pi
<br>
<br>
int8(1)/0.0
<br>
<br>
and so on. Other software related to Scilab, e.g. Matlab and
Julia, have different conventions and currently Scilab currently
adopts a mix of them, which does not help to make one's mind.
<br>
<br>
Integers types were a long-waited feature by people who needed it,
so I would like to have some developpers and user testimonies
about the way they do algebra with them.
<br>
<br>
Thanks in adavance,
<br>
<br>

Hello all, <br>
<br>
Do I have to conclude that the implementation is currently so
incoherent that *nobody* uses integer types in Scilab (other than
Scilab code itself) ? <br>
