[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8119] Allow variable tolerance and improve error messages for assert.m script

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #23, patch #8119 (project octave):

OK, thanks.

I double-checked some things and the call depth mod isn't quite right.  (The
problem with "test assert" is that though it appropriately fails in the right
location, it is hard to tell whether it is failing in the right way.)  The
call_depth starts at zero and does an "if (call_depth > 0)" with the
consequence that an error() always occurs.  Try:


x = {[3], [1,2,3]; 100+100*eps, "dog"};
y = x; y(1,1) = [2];  y(1,2) = [0, 2, 3]; y(2,1) = 101; y(2,2) = "cat";
assert (x, y)


With the attached change, call_depth is always incremented and always
decremented at the end (otherwise subsequent calls to the function will
fail).
