[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35772] Nested Function Support

[Max Brister]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #35772 (project octave):

The revised nested function patch has been completed. It should be much more
stable, however it has the following issues:
- handles to nested functions are not supported.
- errors are not properly issued if a nested child declares a nonlocal
variable as global or persistent. (should not cause a crash though, and
existing matlab code should not be affected by this)

I will post on the mailing list explaining the reasons behind the approach I
used.

Alon,
The bug you found is probably due to the nested function patch. It is amazing
how many interesting errors can be caused by changing the core interpreter
functionality.
