Hi, 

I'm not sure whether that is documented anywhere in the manual, 
but there is an example in the source tree that shows how it's
done:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/fa9993b55617/examples/code/make_int.cc

a few packages use this, I can't remember exactly which ones off the top of my 
head,
but for sure the MPI package does:
