John,
You might want to take a look at the parsing of command line
functions. I
tried this,
octave:1> function y = mysin (x)
y = sin (x);
endfunction
�: interpfcn/symtab.h:2039: static void
symbol_table::set_curr_fcn(octave_user_function*, int): Assertion
`scope !=
xtop_scope&& scope != xglobal_scope' failed.
Abort
and got thrown back to the shell.
It seems to work for me, so I'm not sure how to debug the problem.
Not that I want to invest the time, but this bug and the previous one
with
debugging, could only be caught by an interactive test suite such as one
written with expect. Our current m-file based strategy doesn't get
at these.
The test suite used to be in expect (DejaGNU) but it was somewhat
harder to write tests than it is now. And, as I remember it, slower
to run the tests, because each one started a new Octave process.
Maybe those problems could be avoided by automatically generating the
tests for expect from the current tests we have and using some other
method of running them with expect that what we were using. But as
you imply, it would take some time to make that work...
