[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49696] Matlab eval function accepts a column vector string input

[Rik]

Update of bug #49696 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #5:

I decided that Octave should err on the side of strict input validation.  As
of this changeset (https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/58bdc2d98481),
Octave will only accept a 1xN character vector for the input to eval().  This
doesn't seem to be a hardship.  Any programmer can simply transpose a column
vector in to a row vector if that is what they have.  I check with Matlab and
a multi-row character array or a character array with more than 2 dimensions
results in an error.

Marking as fixed and closing report.
