[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52582] Dependent constant properties cause a crash

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52582 (project octave):

I can confirm that there is some strangeness.  With 4.2.1, I get


octave:1> x = Crash
error: no such file, '/home/rik/downloads/Crash.m'


That alone is weird.  With the development branch I get a true segfault.


octave:1> x  = Crash ()
Segmentation fault


On the other hand, is this even valid code?  Does it run under Matlab?

It appears to me that this line


c2 = Crash.c1 + 1; 


will cause an infinite loop.  The first time an object of the class is created
the class will try to be initialized.  The line 'c1 = 1' is straightforward. 
The next line will allocate space for the variable c2, but then will call the
class constructor Crash because 'Crash.c1' does not yet exist as a class
constant variable since the first initialization has not finished.
