[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59344] Run source('filename.m', 'caller') and Get a 'base' Context

[Rik]

Update of bug #59344 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed                 
        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any

Follow-up Comment #1:

This is correct behavior.  When you execute "b(3)" the "caller" context is the
same as the "base" context since "b(3)" is called from the Octave prompt. 
Since they are the same context, they must return the same results.

Also, there is no change to the variable "i" because the script callit.m makes
no assignment to it.

If I modify callit.m to


i = i + 1;
a(i)


and then execute


octave:7> i = 1
i = 1
octave:8> b(3)
here, i=7
here, i=2
here, i=3
octave:9> i
i = 3


you can see that variables are changed in the base and caller context.
