[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60882] error parsing command syntax

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #19, bug #60882 (project octave):

The '=' symbol is always treated as an operator regardless of spacing.

It may be incorrect for Octave to parse "x ++" as a command at the command
line when "x" is already defined as a variable.  We may be missing a check for
that.

Also, I didn't verify the actual behavior of the current development version
of Octave, but if it is still parsing the full command line before evaluating
anything, then input like "x = 1; x ++" all on one line would behave
differently from executing those two expressions on separate input lines.
