[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50893] for loop index variable not initialized unless loop is entered

[Ceral Paquet]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #50893 (project octave):

I can't find any documentation about it. Yes it does look rather ad hoc. Looks
like Rik found a genuine bug tho rather that this little WTF.

For me, it would help to just leave a 0x0 double in the workspace (or any
class, it doesn't matter). It would be just to make things like this work in
Octave when n=0:


a = rand(n,1);

for k = 1:n
   if a(k)>0.5; break; end
end

b = a(k);
