Thanks for the suggestion, in fact even the original line had the single(..)

result is not what expected:

octave:1> x = javaMethod('floatToIntBits', 'java.lang.Float', single(10.07))
error: [java] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

I suspect the single() precision object is first converted by octave into a double, so the problem stays the same.

 

octave:1> x = javaMethod('doubleToLongBits', 'java.lang.Double', 10.07)
x =
<Java object: java.lang.Long>

This is theoretically correct, the method is supposed to return a java long value. What's not there is the automatic conversion into a int64 octave value.

So I think the bottom line is that some boxing/unboxing methods are missing for less usual octave types (single, integers...).
