This bug would impact the qmc_sequence MEX, which manipulates an int64
input/output argument (the seed). Thanks to little-endianness, the bug would
however only manifest for seeds > 2³¹.
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
* Simplified the way we deal with various Octave/MATLAB contexts from MEX files:
- only three defines: MATLAB_MEX_FILE, MATLAB_VERSION (hex number) and OCTAVE_MEX_FILE
- one header for MEX files: dynmex.h
- headers for BLAS and LAPACK: dynblas.h and dynlapack.h (used from Dynare++ and the MEX files)
* Merged the two sources trees of sylvester library
