[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61968] pow2 with two arguments is not Matlab compatible

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #61968 (project octave):

"As nice side effect the function will move from m-code to C++ code."

It's fine to make this change, but I'm not sure that defining more functions
in C++ is a good thing.  I understand there are performance issues, but I'd
rather have fewer things defined in C++ unless they are simple wrappers around
existing library code.  Another option would be to provide wrappers for ldexp
and scalbn and using those functions to define pow2.
