[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48013] Java integration: conversion to double

[Ernst Reissner]

Follow-up Comment #29, bug #48013 (project octave):

Hi Philip, 
I suspect, that matlab shows special behavior 
in conjunction with function disp, invoking .toString(), right? 
I filed this as bug 48854. 
So your problem disappears not before having implemented 48854. 
Also I think conversion BigDecimal to double 
shall be done via function double, 
which does not work before bug #48591 is fixed. 

As you wrote, conversion BigDecimal to double is slow, 
but it is equally slow, whether it is converted 
automatically or manually. 

I also want to point out, 
that without fix of 48013, 
it is not possible, to use objects implementing an improved arithmetics, like
BigDecimal do, 
because passing intermediate results to octave 
would cause destruction of the objects. 



I posted several bug reports, some for some time in state 'need info'. 
Could you help me filling in the gaps?? 

So, I think,  bug #48591 is fixed.
