[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #40938] interaction among eval, anonymous function, and functions

[Rik]

Update of bug #40938 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 1 - Later              
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  My guess is that Matlab is treating the anonymous function as a
nested function, in which case it has access to the enclosing function's
variables.  Octave is probably treating this as a subfunction, in which case
the scope does not include the caller's variables.

This sort of esoteric compatibility is a low priority and I've marked the bug
as such.
