[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51988] syntax error on command syntax in script file when command is shadowed by a variable

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #51988 (group octave):

I saved the following to a file:

axis = 5
try
axis equal
end
try
axis "equal"
end
clear axis
axis equal
axis "equal"


Trying to execute it results in the following error:

>> test_clear_fcn_name

error: axis: invalid use of symbol as both variable and command near line 3,
column 0 in file D:\repo\Octave\octave-2\.build\test_clear_fcn_
name.m
>>


When I execute these commands one after the other at the octave prompt, the
function `axis` is working correctly again after `clear axis`. The same when I
copy and paste these commands at the octave prompt.

I'd say that error message is specific enough and this report can be closed.
