Details:

The keyword "static" has been removed from Octave 4.0:

$  grep -w -C3 static /usr/share/octave/4.4.1/etc/NEWS 
 ** The following keywords were deprecated in Octave 3.8 and have been
    removed from Octave 4.0

      static



Now "static" is not a keyword:

octave:1>  doc keyword

octave:2>  which static
octave:3>  type static
error: type: 'static' undefined
octave:3>  iskeyword static
ans = 0
octave:4>  iskeyword
ans =
{
  [1,1] = __FILE__
  [2,1] = __LINE__
  [3,1] = break
  [4,1] = case
  [5,1] = catch
  [6,1] = classdef
  [7,1] = continue
  [8,1] = do
  [9,1] = else
  [10,1] = elseif
  [11,1] = end
  [12,1] = end_try_catch
  [13,1] = end_unwind_protect
  [14,1] = endclassdef
  [15,1] = endenumeration
  [16,1] = endevents
  [17,1] = endfor
  [18,1] = endfunction
  [19,1] = endif
  [20,1] = endmethods
  [21,1] = endparfor
  [22,1] = endproperties
  [23,1] = endswitch
  [24,1] = endwhile
  [25,1] = enumeration
  [26,1] = events
  [27,1] = for
  [28,1] = function
  [29,1] = global
  [30,1] = if
  [31,1] = methods
  [32,1] = otherwise
  [33,1] = parfor
  [34,1] = persistent
  [35,1] = properties
  [36,1] = return
  [37,1] = switch
  [38,1] = try
  [39,1] = until
  [40,1] = unwind_protect
  [41,1] = unwind_protect_cleanup
  [42,1] = while
}



But it still remains somewhere:

octave:55>  lookfor static
static              This statement has been deprecated in favor of
‘persisten
                    t’.
octave:56>  help static

 -- static
     This statement has been deprecated in favor of 'persistent'.

     See also: persistent.
