Re: [major] struct array indexing in tip

Hi,

Is that intended behaviour?

    

This stuff never worked correctly, so it's hard to judge by older
versions, but I think that given that cs-lists aren't allowed to have
shape, they should automatically reshape when assigned to lvalues like
a{1:2,3:4}. This following patch should guarantee this.
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/35656d6ad061
  

Does that mean, that  [b(1:2, [1,3]).name] internally still has shape? I thought that
     b(1:2, [1,3]).name
is a cs-list without shape, that gets converted to a vector (of some kind of pointers into the b structure array) by the [] operator.
