[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49794] display vs. disp functions

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #49794 (project octave):

Bringing over comments from Julien at bug #49753

The output from an object which does not define a display method is something,
rather than an error, in Matlab.


>> display (x)

x = 

        stk_dataframe object: 4-by-2


This matches Amro's observation in comment #6.

This is easy enough to achieve by removing the input validation on isobject. 
If I comment out those lines, and use the following blank classdef file
blah.m


classdef blah
endclassdef


then I get the following results


octave:2> x = blah()
x =

<object blah>

octave:3> display (x)
x =

<object blah>

octave:4> y.a = x
y =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    a =

    <object blah>


octave:5> display (y.a)
<object blah>


Does that look right?
