integer math warnings

[Jaroslav Hajek]

hi all,

I have learnt that Matlab is removing the integer math warnings in the
newest release:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/rn/bsdgysw-1.html#bse_gbf-1

Frankly, these warnings only make things more complicated for Octave,
too. They force the use of global flags in the saturated integer math
implementations,
which is ugly, problematic with possible threading, and probably slows
things down somewhat.

Does anyone rely on these? Is it OK if we remove them, too?
