If you save an old-style Matlab object (i.e. created in an
@ClassName
folder, beforeclassdef
was a thing) in av7.3
file,MAT.jl
throws an error saying it cannot read from a non-struct group (cf. line 232 ofMAT_HDF5.jl
). As a matter of fact, it appears that Matlab saves these objects 'as if' they are structs, and indeed the objects that I have appear to be read just fine if I manually remove the error and let the code continue.Instead of throwing an error, I would propose giving a warning, such as
in case it can, in fact, be read properly.
