Details:

After cset fc7b842daca1 the assert statement no longer prints the expression
that fails if the expression is not a variable.

Here is a quick test case uploaded in the file tst_assert.m


%!test
%! assert (get (0, "DefaultLineLineStyle"), "abc")


Old Behavior:


octave:1> test tst_assert
***** test
 assert (get (0, "DefaultLineLineStyle"), "abc")
!!!!! test failed
ASSERT errors for:  assert (get (0, "DefaultLineLineStyle"),"abc")

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
     []           -           abc        Strings don't match


New Behavior:


octave:1> test tst_assert
***** test
 assert (get (0, "DefaultLineLineStyle"), "abc")
!!!!! test failed
ASSERT errors for:  assert (,)

  Location  |  Observed  |  Expected  |  Reason
     []           -           abc        Strings don't match
octave:2>
