[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64756] make Octave save function more compatible with MATLAB |

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #64756 (project octave):
So you just want to have a '-compress' alias for Octave's '-zip' option? At
first sight that looks easy enough. But I'm not familiar with the code so
there may be some gotchas.
Yes it is known that Matlab uses gzip for '-v7'. So .mat files written with
'-v7' can be used interchangeably by Octave and Matlab. I'm doing that all the
time myself.
But for '-v7.3' Matlab is using HDF5, in a form not supported by Octave (yet),
or maybe just partly.
FYI:
As to load/save there are longstanding wishes to simplify these commands
(a.o., internally, and maybe drop support for some formats exclusively used by
Octave), to support '-v7.3' and to be able to save classdef stuff. But these
are still wishes ...
