[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58677] Error when using += operator

[Rik]

Update of bug #58677 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Release:                   5.2.0 => 6.0.90

Follow-up Comment #7:

Confirmed.  

I used Dmitri's simpler example, slightly modified, and uploaded as ta.m and
tb.m.  tb.m is now


1;
whos x
fflush (stdout)
x += 5;


The resulting output shows that the Octave interpreter knows 'x' is a
variable, but still gets the '+=' wrong.



octave:1> ta
Variables visible from the current scope:

variables in scope: top scope

   Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
   ==== ====        ====                     =====  ===== 
        x          10x1                         80  double

Total is 10 elements using 80 bytes

error: x used as variable and later as function
error: called from
    tb at line 4 column 1
    ta at line 3 column 1
ans = 0


I changed the version to 6.0.90.  It would be best to fix this before the 6.1
release assuming it is not too difficult.
