[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55774] Subsasign on class member: a cs-list cannot be further indexed

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #55774 (project octave):

This issue may be because numel is being called inappropriately.

I used a modified version of the A class below.


classdef A < handle
  properties
    list 
  end
  methods 
    function self = A()
      self.list = {1,2};
    end
    function r = numel (self)
      keyboard;
      r = numel (self.list);
    end
  end
end


Then I executed


a = A();
a.list(3) = 4;


What happens next is that the numel() function for the A class is called and I
hit the keyboard statement.  This does not appear to be correct.  If the
interpreter was validating that the index 3 is okay it needs to call numel on
(a.list) which is a cell array.  Instead, it seems that it may be checking
that numel (a).
