Dear all, This is potentially very interesting, but I am concerned by two issues : -will such a C++ code be readable? I gather that still it will be better to review the original Matlab code -what about the functions in Matlab whose code is not public? How could they possibly be translated?

I recently heard about two projects of a MATLAB-to-C++ translator, and this could solve some of the objections against MATLAB (black box, not mixable with other languages, requires a license). These MATLAB-to-C++ translators are commercial products developped by the Silkan[1] and companies. They are not more open or free than MATLAB, but if I understand correctly they produce a C++ implementation equivalent to a MATLAB code, and this C++ code can be open and free (to be verified, I do not know the details). This could be an option for IPOL, for example receiving the MATLAB code but reviewing and publishing the C++ code converted from MATLAB (with or without co-author, etc... to be discussed later). I read that both companies are interested in academic partnerships and could possibly offer the use of their tools for academic purposes as it would help them improve their products. Do you think this option should be explored? Is someone interested in contacting these companies to know more about their MATLAB-to-C++ translators?
