[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48742] methods(obj,'-full')

[Ernst Reissner]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #48742 (project octave):

The patch I provide does not fully fix the bug: 
- the fix refers to Java objects and to java classnames only. 
  for all other input, the parameter -full is ignored. 
- for java class names or methods 
    we provide almost a fix: 
    missing is only inheritance information. 
    Currently, i cannot provide this, 
    since I do not know how this information is represented. 

So suggestion: 

Split this bugreport in two: 
- for java: for -full,  inheritance information is missing 
  status is need information. 
- for the rest: -full is fully ignored, 
  status is confirmed. 

There is a third problem: 
The two cases cannot be fully distinguished: 
Matlab only allows classnames both java and matlab, 
which would correspond with octave. 
Matlab documentation 
http://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/methods.html?searchHighlight=methods

does not clearly say what if one and the same name refers to both, 
a java and a matlab classname. 

The problem with the current implementation in this case is, 
if the octave/ class has no methods: 
Then a java class is tried which may not exist. 

So this may be a third bug.
