[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64072] segfault when calling set with invalid parameters

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #64072 (project octave):

Even if you want to call the equivalent of disp from C++, it's probably not
wise to always do that - the value could be a very large numeric array.  Then
we'd have people reporting bugs about how the error message was lost because
the value was displayed over thousands of lines.

We could have a "short_disp" function (maybe we already have something like
that?) to display a manageable amount of the value?  If so, then I'd like to
see this type of display of bad inputs used consistently, not just for a
single function.
