[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63931] Binary fwrite writes incorrect data to file

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #63931 (project octave):

                  Status:                   Fixed => Ready For Test         
             Open/Closed:                  Closed => Open

Follow-up Comment #55:

I backed out that change here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d1a846f57379

It is no longer required for me to avoid the issue with the example in comment
#0:

>> val = hex2dec('a7');
>> a = ones(2400,1)*val;
>> f = fopen('a.a','wb');
>> fwrite(f,a,'uint8');
>> fclose(f);
>> f = fopen('a.a','rb');
>> b = fread(f,2400,'uint8');
>> fclose(f);
>> a(1)
ans = 167
>> b(1)
ans = 167
>> __mfile_encoding__
ans = windows-1252


Backing out this change restores Matlab compatibility (transcoding is
independent on whether a file stream is opened in binary mode or text mode).

Opening as ready for test again.
