[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36221] using ~ as optional output for unique causes error in ismember

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #36221 (project octave):

The originally reported problem is fixed by the changeset I committed, so I
don't think there is anything in unique.m that needs to be changed.

I also don't think that we should require that unused outputs must be set to
something.  Does matlab really require that?  So you have to write things
like


  if isargout (n)
    % compute n-th output
  else
    % no need to compute the n-th output, but we still
    % have to set it, because even though matlab is
    % ignoring this output, it needs a dummy value.
    % Seriously?
    nth_output = [];
  end


Anyway, what is left to fix?
