typecast C-mex function

10 Nov 2007 (Updated 05 Aug 2009)

typecast.c is a mex function intended to mimic the MATLAB intrinsic of the same name

File Information
Description	The MATLAB typecast function is only available in later versions of MATLAB. The typecast.c file is a mex file intended to mimic this function. Mainly intended for older versions of MATLAB. Since it uses the exact same name as the actual MATLAB function intentionally, it will clash with the actual function if used on later versions of MATLAB. (If you want to use it for later versions and keep the intrinsic function available, just give the typecast.c and typecast.m files different names, e.g. typecastx.c and typecastx.m.) Note that typecast.c is self-building ... you don't have to know anything about C.
Acknowledgements	This submission has inspired the following: num2vpi - Converts input exactly into vpi
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a)
Other requirements	Any C compiler, such as the built in lcc compiler. (typecast is self-building ... you don't have to know anything about C)

Updates
12 Feb 2008	I am adding an m-file so that "help typecast" will work.
03 Aug 2009	Changed algorithm from deep data copy to shared data copy. Thus the C-mex typecast is more efficient than the MATLAB intrinsic typecast. Also added the capability to handle complex inputs.
05 Aug 2009	Fixed a sparse matrix bug.
