[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34868] subsref crashes octave

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #34868 (project octave):


x([]) = rhs ==> subsasgn (x, struct ("type", '()', subs [], rhs)


If the indexing struct is empty, then it seems the equivalent expression would
be


x() = rhs


That is not valid syntax, but since there is no index, it seems to me that it
should be interpreted as


x = rhs


Since subsasgn can not modify its first argument, but is normally used by
writing


x = subsasgn (x, idx, rhs)


I think subsasgn should return rhs if the index struct is empty.
