[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51388] Current directory does not change immediatly with "cd" on some systems

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51388 (project octave):

Attached is a test case that is very specific to the io package. It triggers
the bug quite reliably for Andrey (without the patch in bug #51203). I will
try to narrow it down to a more generic one. But something like this might
trigger the bug as well:

for i = 1:200
  cd (somedirectory1)
  while ~strcmpi (somedirectory1, pwd)
    warning ('bug triggered');
    cd (somedirectory1)
  endwhile
  cd (somedirectory2)
  while ~strcmpi (somedirectory2, pwd)
    warning ('bug triggered');
    cd (somedirectory2)
  endwhile
endfor


It might be possible that it is more likely to trigger under load (as in
[de-]compressing a file with InfoZip).
