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

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #42112 (project octave):

I'm glad to see that Matlab took a reasonable approach to this;  Calling the
Java Objects own serialization method makes a lot of sense.

The function you probably want to modify is read_mat5_binary_element in
ls-mat5.cc.  Near the top of the file there is an enum declaration with the
various CLASSTYPES in a Matlab file.  In the function read_mat5_binary_element
there is a case statement that keys off the CLASSTYPE.  My guess is that there
is a special class for Java objects, although they may have used the
MAT_FILE_OBJECT_CLASS type which is for any class object.
