Because at some point throwing exceptions from MEX files (with mexErrMsgTxt())
was not working under Windows 64-bit, we had designed a workaround to avoid
using exceptions.
Most MEX files were returning an error code as their first (or sometimes last)
argument, and that code would have to be checked from the MATLAB code.
Since this workaround is no longer needed, this commit removes it. As a
consequence, the interface of many MEX files is modified.
For some background, see https://www.dynare.org/pipermail/dev/2010-September/000895.html
Replace them by equivalents in M_ (and an extra one: M_.dynamic).
IMPORTANT POINT: oo_.dr.npred used to count both purely backward and mixed/both
variables. This was the cause of lots of confusion. The new M_.npred only
counts purely backward variables.
We now have the following indentities:
M_.npred + M_.nboth + M_.nfwrd + M_.nstatic = M_.endo_nbr
M_.nspred = M_.npred + M_.nboth
M_.nsfwrd = M_.nfwrd + M_.nboth
M_.ndynamic = M_.npred + M_.nboth + M_.nfwrd
