Here is the start of this discussion.
As cross-posting looks forbidden/prevented/canceled, i am afraid that
only the dev@ list received both initial messages
<http://mailinglists.scilab.org/algebra-conventions-with-integer-types-to-be-discussed-tp4038549p4038564.html>.
At least, only the dev@ archives publish them
<http://mailinglists.scilab.org/algebra-conventions-with-integer-types-to-be-discussed-tp4038549p4038564.html>.
Also, setting a scilab list in CC: while the main receiver is another
list looks also useless because it is silently canceled (see the dev@
online archives).

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) ?
