Hello,
here is a screen session:
"
octave:1> foo{1,1} = "a"
foo =
{
[1,1] = a
}
octave:2> foo{1,2} = "b"
foo =
{
[1,1] = a
[1,2] = b
}
octave:3> foo{2,1} = [1 2]
foo =
{
[1,1] = a
[2,1] =
1 2
[1,2] = b
[2,2] = [](0x0)
}
octave:4> foo_cs = foo{:}
foo_cs = a
octave:5> sizeof(foo{:})
error: Invalid call to sizeof. Correct usage is:
-- Built-in Function: sizeof (VAL)

octave:5> sizeof(foo_cs)
ans = 1
octave:6> sizeof(1 + 2)
ans = 8
octave:7> sizeof(foo)
ans = 18
octave:8>
".
Questions:
1) why is it so that 'foo_cs' shows just one element (and its 'sizeof' is
indeer 1 - see above) :
"
octave:4> foo_cs = foo{:}
foo_cs = a
"
?
2) why "sizeof(foo{:})" refuses to work while "sizeof(1 + 2)" and
"sizeof(foo)" work ? I think "foo{:}" occupies some bytes in memory, so
'sizeof' taking it as its argument should make sense.
Thanks,
Sergei.
