[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38151] Empty length in a linspace

[Rik]

Update of bug #38151 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

I think that Octave probably has the correct behavior.

According to the linspace documentation it wants a scalar number N for the
number of points.  The empty matrix is not zero (a scalar number), but an
entirely different data type (matrix).  It seems fine to flag the user that
linspace has been called incorrectly.  The error message also points out

error: linspace: N must be an integer

which gives a good clue about what a user would need to do to make it work.
