[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49379] classdef constructor: .argn. loses first argument, inputname(n) returns inputname(n+1)

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #49379 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Patch Submitted

Follow-up Comment #2:

Attached is a patch that fixes that issue for me.

However, I do not understand the backgrounds of the implementation of classdef
in Octave. But this comment in line 473 of ov-usr-fcn.cc looks strange to me:

  // If this function is a classdef constructor, extract the first input
  // argument, which must be the partially constructed object instance.


AFAIU, the constructor is the only "method" of a classdef that does NOT
receive the object as the first argument (apart from static methods). So the
real problem might be somewhere else and a proper fix should maybe be
different from this patch.
