[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59737] end keyword not passed to oveloaded subsfef function within custom classdef

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #59737 (project octave):

Please change this bug report to a request to change documentation. I agree
this bug as reported is not a bug. Is it possible to add a sentence like:

If you would like to use the end keyword with subsref you will also need to
overload end.

and/or

add end to the see also list

See also: subsasgn, substruct, end.

The reason I overloaded every size function I could think of was to see if one
of them was being used by end. There was no hint in the documentation, the
syntax highlighter or from my google searches (I was not searching overload
end. I was searching my problem.) that I could overload end.

The working as expected class with overloaded end:


classdef cantuseend
  properties
    value;
  endproperties
  methods
    function obj=cantuseend(a)
      obj.value=a;
    endfunction
    function obj=subsref(a,s)
      if strcmp(s.type,"()")
        obj=cantuseend(subsref(a.value,s));
        s
      else
        obj=builtin('subref',a,s);
      end
    endfunction
    function display(a)
      disp(a.value);
    endfunction
    function lastindex=end(a,k,n)
      lastindex=size(a,k);
    endfunction
    function varargout=size(a,varargin)
      nout=nargout;
      if nout<=1
        varargout={size(a.value,varargin{:})};
      else
        varargout=nthargout(1:max(nargout,1),@size,a.value,varargin{:});
      end
    end
  endmethods
endclassdef
