[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59439] function handles should be able to reload subfunctions

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #59439 (project octave):

                Category:                Plotting => Interpreter            
                 Summary:            legend issue => function handles should
be able to reload subfunctions

Follow-up Comment #2:

For compatibility with Matlab, the subfunction should probably be able to
reload.

The attached example has the following output in Matlab R2020b if I click the
button twice before and after `clear all`:

>> clear all
>> bug59439_function
test: 1
test: 2
>> clear all
test: 1
test: 2


The same in Octave 6.0.92:

>> bug59439_function
>> test: 1
test: 2
clear all
>> error: 'subfunction' undefined near line 6, column 6
error: called from
    bug59439_function>@<anonymous> at line 6 column 79


Very similar error in 5.2.0. So this isn't a regression.

I don't think the general issue should block the Octave 6 release. Maybe a
short time fix could be made to "legend" though.
