[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58695] Array is left empty if an element is a function call returning nothing

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #58695 (project octave):

Oh, I see.

I think your change is the right thing to do, but we were already returning an
empty octave_value_list in this case.   Your change makes the dot indexing
operation return an empty comma-separated list instead.

We still have the issue of what functions without return lists should be
creating.  Currently, they also create empty octave_value_list objects.

What does Matlab do for things like the following?


function f1 (), end
function f2 (), 1; end
f1
f2
x = f1
x = f2
[1, f1, 2]
[1, f2, 2]


With this info I think I can also make Octave's behavior consistent in these
cases.

I'd also like to credit you for this change.  Can I use your full name for
that?
