Details:

There appears to be an error in assigning empty values to arrays of type other
than double:


iarray = int64( [1 2] );
darray = double( [1 2] );

iarray(1) = [];
darray(1) = [];
% works, iarray & darray = [2] now

iarray(1) = [];
% error: A(I) = X: X must have the same size as I

darray(1) = [];
% works; returns empty 1x0 array


This seems closely related to open bug #31287: Certain assignments of empty
arrays give errors (Matlab incompatibility), but perhaps not the same, since
that bug involves assignments whos left-hand-sides are also empty (rather than
becoming empty), and does not seem to depend on the data type.
