integer artithmetic

[John W. Eaton]

What should we do for things like

  int16(0) / int16(0)

or

  Inf * int16(0)

?

If both arguments are double, these operations genrate NaNs.  What
should Octave do, given the constraint that the result should be an
int16 object (at least I believe that's the rule that we have to
follow for compatibility)?

Should the result be int16(0)?

Can someone who has Matlab R14 say what it does?

Thanks,
