[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61690] Behavior of sum() with empty inputs

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #61690 (project octave):

we generally aren't very rigorous with assigning bugs to individuals, and I
think Savannah only allows assignments to project members.  For now, unless
anyone comments otherwise, consider it yours to work on as there haven't been
any comments since the bug was filed.

Consistent empty array handling is something that appears in many basic
functions, as much octave code fails to differentiate between [], [](0x1),
[](1x0), etc., yet alone produce outputs in a matlab compatible fashion. I'd
be curious if the change to mx-inlines.cc would improve other functions as
well. we should also be prepared for a change to possibly affect tests for
other functions, assuming they have tests to detect such changes.
