Details:

Glob only returns the longest filename.

In the following example all the file names that I am using are actual files
in that folder.





a={ "lsss.txt", ...
"Makefile", ...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_commons.cc",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.cc",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct",...
}

b=glob(a)

c={ "lsss.txt", ...
"Makefile", ...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_commons.cc",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.cc",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.oct*"...
}

d=glob(c)


ee={ "lsss.txt", ...
"Makefile", ...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_commons.cc",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.cc",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct",...
"/home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.*"...
}

f=glob(ee)



and now for the results:


a =
{
  [1,1] = lsss.txt
  [1,2] = Makefile
  [1,3] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_commons.cc
  [1,4] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.cc
  [1,5] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct
  [1,6] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct
}
b =
{
  [1,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct
  [2,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct
}
c =
{
  [1,1] = lsss.txt
  [1,2] = Makefile
  [1,3] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_commons.cc
  [1,4] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.cc
  [1,5] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct
  [1,6] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct
  [1,7] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.oct*
}
d =
{
  [1,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.oct
}
ee =
{
  [1,1] = lsss.txt
  [1,2] = Makefile
  [1,3] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_commons.cc
  [1,4] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.cc
  [1,5] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct
  [1,6] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct
  [1,7] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.*
}
f =
{
  [1,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_function_d.oct
  [2,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_linspace_d.oct
  [3,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.cc
  [4,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.o
  [5,1] = /home/doug/Desktop/src/mpfr_matrix_mul_d.oct
}
>>


you can see that b is the longest 2 file names of a
and d is the longest file name of c
and f is the result of the wildcard "*" plus the 2 next shorter file names.

I hope this will help the c++ debugers find the problem.
