[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47676] Error applying multiplication-assignment operator to variable defined in script

[Carlo de Falco]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #47676 (project octave):

jwe, 

Now that I think about it better, probably I can come up
with an example against the "#include" approach myself.

I tried the example lachlan suggested in comment #6 in both
Octave and Matlab and it fails in both cases, 
but in different ways:

Matlab

>> example_1
Undefined function or variable 'Csb'.

Error in example_1 (line 2)
Csb /2
 
>> version

ans =

9.0.0.341360 (R2016a)


Octave

>> example_1
ans =

   0   0

>> version
ans = 4.1.0+



While they both look bad, Matlab's result is slightly better
because at least the code does not proceed with an unexpected
value assigned to Csb.

Can we at least replicate this behaviour somehow?
