[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34868] subsref crashes octave

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #34868 (project octave):

I verified the new behavior and added some %!tests for it.  I checked in JWE's
changeset here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/6ead4dc1ca55).

Question, for subsref the returned value with an empty index is the original
matrix.  For subsasgn the returned value is what would have been assigned if
the assignment operator had not been empty.  This seems odd to me.  It seems
like it should be the original matrix again.


x = 1:5;
x([]) = 167
x =

   1   2   3   4   5

BUT

idx = struct ("type", {}, "subs", {});
subsasgn (x, idx), 167)
ans =  167


Any thoughts?
