[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50108] Matlab fullfile behavior is different from documentation

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #50108 (project octave):

Another thing to check is whether Matlab is just collapsing ".." or if it is
also resolving symbolic links.  I.e., does it do the full job of
canonicalize_file_name or just the relative path part.

Also, does it only collapse ".." when it is in the middle of a file name? 
What about at the end or beginning?  And what does it do with things like
"./foo" or "~/foo"?

As long as Octave concatenates the parts and returns a valid filename, then I
don't really see a bug here.
