The code receives the 2 structures as inputs (or objects) and will return a cell array with as many rows as differences encountered, if any (an empty cell returned for equal arguments). The 4 columns in the output cell contain details for the differences found:
- Col 1: field name where difference found
- Col 2: the reason for the difference
- Cols 3 and 4: contents for the fields that caused the difference
The code will recurse on nested MATLAB objects to a default maximum of 6 levels, which can be changed with an optional parameter.
