[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53565] Implement clearvars function for Matlab compatibility

[Rik]

Update of bug #53565 (project octave):

                 Summary: clear -x and clearvars revisit => Implement
clearvars function for Matlab compatibility

Follow-up Comment #4:

I improved the input validation of clear to reject multiple options.  I also
changed the documentation to state that all options must appear before any
name patterns.  The code


a1=1; a2=2; a3=3;
clear a* -x a1


is incorrect.  Once option processing has stopped all remaining items on the
line are treated as patterns.  The code above would try to remove a variable
named "-x".
