[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31080] User scripts or functions created during a session on Windows are not found

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #81, bug #31080 (group octave):

This report is quite old. In the meantime, the implementation of the load path
has changed, and it no longer uses the date/time from stat on Windows. So, the
value of the time stamps returned by the `stat` function doesn't matter for
this issue. (Btw: you can change the format in which double precision floating
point numbers are printed by default by running, e.g., `format long` before
inspecting the respective numbers.)

I'm not sure I understood your test procedure correctly. So, I don't know
whether it was sufficient to test if this bug is fixed.

Assuming that the issue was actually caused by the erroneous bit shift (which
is our best assumption currently imho), the following test procedure would
probably suffice:
Try to *manually* create new files in the *same* folder repeatedly for an
extended period of time (e.g., one *new* .m file every - let's say -
approximately 20 seconds for a period of 8 to 10 minutes or until the issue
occurs) and try to execute it *manually* immediately after creating the new
file. That folder can probably be the current directory or any other folder in
the load path. Each of the new files needs to be named differently from any
files that already exist in that folder at that point.
It might also be necessary to *not* hit enter on an empty prompt (nor execute
any other command) between creating the new file and trying to execute it.
