Hello,
A flag has been introduced to tackle the A+[] operation
help("oldEmptyBehaviour")
oldEmptyBehaviour("on")
1 + []
oldEmptyBehaviour("off")
1+[]
oldEmptyBehaviour("query")
We kept the warning for both behaviours if users want to migrate "softly".
This is also done to protect the scripts.
Up to Scilab 5.5.2, we had
strcat([],"anything") == "" // as well as
[] + "anything" == ""
The fact that both expressions give the same result is correct, since
they mean exactly the same operation.
But with the new behavior of +[], both results become distinct:
strcat([], "anything") // still returns "" (scilab 6.0-b1) , while
[]+"anything" // now returns []
This is why *we **could prefer from strcat([]) or strcat([], "anything")
now to return [] instead of ""*.
What's your opinion about this?
Moreover, most of string functions processing [] *already* return [] :
*convstr([]) => [], string([]) => [], etc*.
If the behavior of strcat([]) is changed, this should not depend on the
oldEmptyBehaviour flag.
Best regards
Alain Lamy and Samuel Gougeon
