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

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #22, bug #60882 (project octave):

I pushed the following changeset to make Octave treat all binary ops the same
whether they are in Matlab or not.  

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/da6e5914ddaf

So now


x-=2    %% operator
x-= 2   %% operator
x -= 2  %% operator
x -=2   %% command syntax


Attempting to handle postfix ++ and -- as operators just by looking at syntax
and when they are preceded by spaces is complicated.  If we do the same as
shown above, then it is impossible to use common use of '--' to indicate the
end of options:


foo -- -this-is-not-an-option  %% should be a command?
