[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58617] cell2struct silently truncates char matrices

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #58617 (project octave):

There are problems all the way down the line.  The cellstr_value() function
that is getting called is in ov-cell.cc.  It contains two return statements
which is grammatically incorrect for C++.  Only the first has any effect, and
I don't know why there isn't a warning during compilation about this.


Array<std::string>
octave_cell::cellstr_value (void) const
{
  Array<std::string> retval;

  if (! iscellstr ())
    error ("invalid conversion from cell array to array of strings");

  if (cellstr_cache->isempty ())
    *cellstr_cache = matrix.cellstr_value ();

  return *cellstr_cache;

  return retval;
}
