[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55856] subsref called in a subscripted assignment operation

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #55856 (project octave):

Are there instances where subsref should be called?  For example, if the LHS
of the assignment includes "end", maybe like this:


obj.data (end) = 1;


What happens if the class defines an "end" method?

In a case like above, what is responsible for setting things up so that "end"
will be called with the correct object and index info?

Does the behavior change if there is a subsref method but no subsasgn method
(I hope not)?
