[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59899] colon operator returns incompatible class for integer inputs

[Rik]

Update of bug #59899 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Ready For Test

Follow-up Comment #9:

I fixed the final issue in this bug report (emitting an error when mixed
integer and floating point inputs to colon operator are incompatible) in this
changeset http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/65979d33f147.

Matlab emits different error messages when a non-integer is used versus a
situation where the value is outside of the range of the integer type.  I
didn't think we needed to be that specific so I just emit one error message
for both situations.

For example,


uint8(1):5.5
error: colon operator upper bound invalid (not an integer or out of range for
given integer type)
uint8(1):300
error: colon operator upper bound invalid (not an integer or out of range for
given integer type)


Marking as Ready for Test.
