Classdef
This page is a stub. We should begin documenting what classdef is implemented and what is not.
not supported
- enumeration
- build-in class as superclass
classdef nonsense < uint32
- concatenating objects into array of objects. Example:
classdef MyClass < handle
end
c = MyClass();
cc = [c, c]; % won't work
For now you can use a cell-array of objects instead:
cc = {c, c}; % ok
- Immutable property set access. Example:
classdef MyClass < handle
properties (SetAccess = immutable)
x
end
methods
function obj = MyClass()
x = rand();
end
end
end
Use "private" properties as workaround.
- Function handles to package methods and static class methods.
For example if we have +mypackage/myfunc.m, creating a function handle as fh = @mypackage.myfunc won't work.
As a workaround, we can create an indirection using an anonymous function fh = @(varargin) mypackage.myfunc(varargin{:}).
Similarly for static class methods where fh = @MyClass.myfunc isn't yet supported.
- Defining local functions in the same classdef-file is not working. For example, the following code gives a syntax/parse error:
classdef MyClass
methods
function obj = MyClass()
myfunc()
end
end
end
function myfunc()
disp('myfunc')
end
- debugging in classdef methods (and +package directory functions)
Breakpoints cannot currently be set in classdef methods (or at least they are ignored). They also can't be set in functions in +package directories (which is a related issue).
