Hello all,

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

int8(1)/int8(0)

int8(-128)/int8(-1)

type of the result of mixed double/integer operations, such as

int8(1) + %pi

int8(1)/0.0

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.

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.

Thanks in adavance,

S.

Hello all,

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