Re: OOP and load/save

[Judd Storrs]

Taking the example further change @Foo/Foo.m to

function f = Foo(f)
  f = class(f, 'Foo');

Then in matlab:

>> load test.mat                  
Warning: Could not determine the fields for class Foo by calling the
         constructor with no input arguments.  The object a has been
         converted to a structure.  To eliminate the conversion create
         an object of class Foo before calling LOAD.
>> f.dataelement = 'I am Foo';
>> f = Foo(f);
>> load test.mat                  
>> bar     

bar = 

    Foo object: 1-by-1

Ok, restart matlab

>> f.notdataelement = 'I am not Foo';
>> f = Foo(f);                       
>> load test.mat                     
Warning: Fields of object 'bar' do not match the current constructor
         definition for class 'Foo'.  The object has been converted
         to a structure.
