Hello Stéphane,

Hello Samuel,

I have initially voted for this behavior (sparse([]) == (  0,  0) zero sparse matrix ) but your remark on numerous occurences of "sparse([])" in scilab prevented to do so.

Why? My remark aimed to bring the attention to existing occurrences and to prevent merging the commit without updating them, not to prevent updating them.
Then these occurrences changed your opinion and vote, not mine.

Best regards
Samuel

Please see comment #8:

Anyway, *as bug #15758 is not related to sparse([]) being not sparse*, and considered the numerous side effects, I will restore sparse([]) == double empty matrix. *If you find necessary to have sparse([]) == sparse empty matrix, please file a bug/whish on BZ.*


Yes, and neither you -- that voted for it -- nor me did it.
And finally we agree: keeping sparse([])==[] was your decision.
Changing this could be done later if it proves to be better.
For the time being, the situation is the following:

*Scilab 6.0.1*:
--> sparse([])
 ans  =
    []

--> sparse([],[])
 ans  =
(  0,  0) zero sparse matrix

--> sparse([],[],[0,2])
 ans  =
    []

*Scilab 6.0.2-* after https://codereview.scilab.org/20492 :
--> sparse([])      // unchanged
 ans  =
    []

--> sparse([],[])   // unchanged
 ans  =
(  0,  0) zero sparse matrix

--> sparse([],[],[0,2])  // *CHANGED*
 ans  =
(  0,  0) zero sparse matrix

while i don't think that this last change is intentional.

it is. To me,

sparse([],[]) <=> sparse([],[],[0,0]) by getting dims implicitely defined in first two arguments (ij,v), so explicit size definition in sparse([],[],[2,0]) should give the same output


Yes

(2x0 == empty matrix);


No. Since both other syntaxes yielded [], [] should be returned. What would make a consistent answer for *all* empty inputs.

I mean: Changing

--> sparse([],[])
 ans  =
(  0,  0) zero sparse matrix

into

--> sparse([],[])
 ans  =
   []

I do not agree. I will prepare a patch with sparse([]) == (0,0) zero sparse matrix for master and this time I will track all possible glitches. Every output of sparse(...), whatever the arguments, should be sparse, even if empty.

S.
