[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46544] race condition when changing directory from octaverc

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #46544 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 3 - Low                
                 Release:                   4.0.0 => dev                    
        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any                    

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #4:

The Octave GUI sets the initial working directory after the interpreter has
been initialized. So there is a period of time where the interpreter is doing
its setup and the GUI is doing its setup simultaneously.

The interpreter loads startup files in the execute_startup_files() function.
The GUI sets the initial directory in the main_window::handle_octave_ready()
function.

Any ideas on how or whether this should be addressed?
