[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65220] get_help_text returns docstring from parent methods

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #22, bug#65220 (group octave):

sorry for the sloppy nomenclature.  I _think_ i did a clear -c every time, but
I'll double check.

first, this does work:

>> clear -c
>> help foobar_class/meth
  comment inside method


now, to avoid potentially leaving incorrect or misleading data, using the
binary nomenclature, where 1 means the comment is there and 0 means i've
deleted it, and a clear -c every time, here's a rerun of comment #16.

base case 1111111 (all present)


>> clear -c
help foobar_class
help foobar_class.foobar_class
help foobar_class.meth
help foobar_class.A
  comment prior to classdef keyword

  comment inside constructor

  comment inside method

  comment for property A


case 0111111  (removed prior-classdef)

>> clear -c
help foobar_class
help foobar_class.foobar_class
help foobar_class.meth
help foobar_class.A
  comment inside classdef block

    Documentation for foobar_class

  comment inside constructor

    Documentation for foobar_class/foobar_class

  comment inside method

  comment for property A


case 0110111 (prior classdef removed, also rem inside const.)

help foobar_class.meth
help foobar_class.A
  comment inside classdef block

help foobar_class.A
  comment prior to classdef keyword

probably would be best to script a few specific cases to run for the 'desired'
endstate before locking it down.
