[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47173] mtimes allows arguments with >= 3 dimensions

[Lachlan Andrew]

Update of bug #47173 (project octave):

                  Status:             In Progress => Patch Submitted

Follow-up Comment #4:

I'm attaching a patch, and the shell+awk scripts I used to generate it.

The operators are created by a maze of nested macros to minimize repeated
code.  It may be able to be simplified using templates, but my guess is that
it would still require quite a bit of special-case code.  For example "A * B'"
doesn't just transpose B and then multiply; it uses a particular library call
that performs them together.  Multiplication by a sparse, diagonal or
permutation matrix clearly needs different code from multiplication by a full
matrix etc.

This is right in the heart of Octave, and so it will probably take a lot of
time and testing to get the patch approved.  Any suggestions of how to test
the hundreds of operators would be welcomed!
