- What is the best way to report bugs pertaining to the modernize
branch?
- Bug in emacsrunregion.m:
There seems to be a difference in the way Emacs and Matlab count
characters in my m files. The region I send from Emacs and the region
being used in the line
,----
| ETXT = TXT(startchar:endchar);
`----
in `emacsrunregion.m' are often (but not always) off by a characters,
leading to inconsistent behavior and errors.
For example, with this code I wrote in `test.m':
,----
| %% Load mat file with white noise input
|
| load 'white_noise_input.mat'
| %
| % % Use same input for discretized only and discretized+lifted
| % timesteps_lifted = 16384
| %% Initialize the lifted system
|
| N = 100;
|
| % Damping coefficient
| % -------------------
| damping_coeff = 0.000; % no damping
| % k = 0.005; %damping coefficient, was 0.005 -> damping ratio = k/(1*omega) =
0.025
`----
I select the following region and run `matlab-shell-run-region':
,----
| %% Initialize the lifted system
|
| N = 100;
|
| % Damping coefficient
| % -------------------
| damping_coeff = 0.000; % no damping
`----
which prints
,----
| >> emacsrunregion('./test.m',164,287)
`----
This throws a bunch of errors. Here is the region that's actually being
evaluated (note the same character range):
,----
| >> TXT = fileread('./test.m');
| >> TXT(164:287)
|
| ans =
|
| '6384
| %% Initialize the lifted system
|
| N = 100;
|
| % Damping coefficient
| % -------------------
| damping_coeff = 0.000; % '
`----
Which is off by a few characters. All my m files are encoded as
utf-8-unix, if that helps.
- Also, I had a question regarding how `eval' works in Matlab. It
appears that it does not maintain state, i.e., eval sets up an
environment for execution that it discards once it's done executing
the region/line that was sent. This makes interactive Matlab coding
(switching back and forth between the m file and `matlab-shell')
almost impossible, where in earlier versions the state in
`matlab-shell' was persistent. Is this intended behavior?
