[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57865] Builtin is not calling the built in version

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #57865 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #6:

Functions in the current directory take precedence over functions in the
search path. If you know the path of the function you are shadowing, you could
cd to that directory, call the function, and cd back.

The following seems to work for me:

>> type xlim
xlim is the user-defined function defined from:
D:\Repositories\Octave\test\octave-2020-02-21-15-19-w64_terminal_colors2\octave-2020-02-21-15-19-w64
\xlim.m

function xlim (varargin)

disp ('test xlim shadowing')
olddir = cd (fullfile (getenv ('OCTAVE_HOME'), 'share\octave', ...
                       ver ('octave').Version, 'm\plot\appearance'));

xlim (varargin{:});

cd (olddir);

endfunction

>> xlim ([0 10])
test xlim shadowing
>>


Since this is how "builtin" is supposed to work in Octave, I'll close the
report as invalid.
