[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61788] arrays of type int16 contain wrong numbers

[Hartmut]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #61788 (project octave):

I have observed another change in Octave 7.0.90, that is connected to arrays
of integers:


n = uint8(2)
class(1:n)


In Octave 6.4.0 this gave a class of "double". But now in Octave 7.0.90 this
gives a class of "uint8".

But (Online-)Matlab also gives "uint8" in this case, so maybe this is just an
improvement in Octave 7.0.90?

How will this behave in the future? I ask because I realised that the function
regionprops.m in the image package relies on the old (and not Matlab
compatible) Octave behavior (and so behaves wrongly at the moment with Octave
7.0.90).
