Update of bug #53579 (project octave): Priority: 5 - Normal => 7 - High _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #1: The new behavior is in the current stable 4.3.0+ version. This means that the new release is incompatible with the current 4.2.2 and with Matlab. It may be confusing for users of the new release to just report: "error: 'aa' undefined near line 5 column 3..." where previously the variable was still defined. It might be best to detect this case (variable in global list and passed as argument) and report it as a warning. This choice is compatible with the current Matlab which behaves like 4.2.2, but also produces a confusing diagnostic. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53579> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
