[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58279] vararginvarargout

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #58279 (project octave):

Rik:

The tree_return_list thing is obsolete.  It should probably be removed.  Long
ago it was used to represent the left hand side of an assignment expression
like


[idx_expr_1, idx_expr2, ...] = expression


not for the input/output parameter lists of functions.  Parameter lists are
limited to simple identifiers (with optional initial values for input
parameter lists), not index expressions like the tree_return_list can hold. 
The parser changed to handle this type of assignment expression differently
but the tree_return_list class wasn't removed after it was no longer needed.

Sorry for the trouble.  I'll fix it.
