[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35481] [var{:}] does not collapse empty elements when some elements are cell

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #35481 (project octave):

(Sorry my comment was prematurely truncated)


octave:9> [1 [] 'a']
ans = ☺a
octave:8> int8([1 [] 'a'])
ans =

   1  97

octave:10> iscell ([1 [] 'a'])
ans = 0

..which shows that Octave makes it a char array.

Interestingly,

octave:13> iscell ([1 [] {} 'a'])
ans =  1
octave:14> [1 [] {} 'a']
ans =
{
  [1,1] =  1
  [1,2] = [](0x0)
  [1,3] = a
}

....so Octave seems to behave inconsistent - [] is treated differently from
{}.

Please check what the ML docs have to say about all this.
