Re: mat file format for classdef objects

[Antony Lee]

Does matio support classdef objects?  To be honest I haven't tried, but a cursory glance at the headers suggested that no.
Likewise, the mat public spec doesn't even mention mxOPAQUE_CLASS, which seems to be used for classdef classes (not mxOBJECT_CLASS).

There's no need to reverse engineer, the mat format is a public spec:

We just haven't implemented this in Octave, because our classdef
support isn't complete either.

If you just want to read and write mat files and you don't care
whether Octave supports them or not, there's a standalone matio
library you can use:
