[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8783] C++ implementation of textscan

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of patch #8783 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #11:

As to the textscan.m <=> textscan.cc confusion:
in your latest patch I renamed all occurrences of "textscan"with "xtextscan",
dropped the hunk that removes textscan.m and added one that adds xtextscan.h
to libinterp/module.mk (as that one is tracked by mercurial); that allows me
to build a dist archive to cross-build a Windows binary installer in
mxe-octave. 
So the experimental binary textscan is now invoked as xtextscan().

Amended patch attached.

The examples on the Matlab textscan pages seem to work quite well under Linux.
Testing on Windows comes later (some private assignments come first :-)).

As textscan.cc seems to work so well already I suppose it is time to initiate
thinking about how to replace strread.m's innards by textscan.cc; same for
textread.m.
