[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51659] Calling 'methods' on self causes syntax error

[Piotr Held]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #51659 (project octave):

And also 'methods', 'properties' or 'events' are illegal names for properties
or events. 

However they are not illegal names for methods (which I guess is so that you
could overload what methods() or properties() or events() does?). So you can
have:


methods
  function methods (self) % events or proprties
    a = methods (self);
  end
end


and you will not get a syntax error. It will only spit out an error when
calling the method itself. If the method does actually make sense, calling
methods(obj_classname) actually executes the method 'methods' instead of
listing all the methods of obj_classname.
