[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60993] Environment became unstable and does not recognize basic commands

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #60993 (project octave):

Agreed, that it is programmers responsibility to program correctly, although
errors and warnings exist to help of achieving this. 

I think there is a way to handle this issue regardless of OS.   The algorithm
is that each function should do housekeeping when it return value(s). This
housekeeping should check if there are opened file(s), resource or memory
inside that function, and close them if resource handler is not in the list of
return arguments (or class members if that function is a class method).
Warning (or error) should be displayed when fail to close file or resource.
Otherwise, as you said we have resource exhaustion or memory leaks.
