[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42112] Unable to load Java objects from MAT file

[Ben Kurtz]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #42112 (project octave):

That makes sense.  I've not had nearly as much time to work on this as I'd
been hoping, but I have made some progress (namely, I've made considerable
progress at dissecting the file format that MATLAB uses for java objects) but
I haven't really gotten the chance to start writing code yet.  The good news
is that it looks like matlab just asks the java object for a serialization of
itself, and then stores that binary data in the .mat file in a particular
way.

Also thanks for your explanation; I was having some trouble figuring out how
exactly that was supposed to work (I think my issue was partly that I created
the octave_java::load_binary function and it wasn't getting called).  Can you
clarify a little more about how the save_binary/load_binary functions are
supposed to interact with the functions in (for example)
libinterp/corefcn/ls-mat5.cc?

And then, at some point I guess we'd have to figure out how/if it makes sense
to save java objects to an ascii file...
