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

• 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.

supported

• methods
  • static
