[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8783] C++ implementation of textscan

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #20, patch #8783 (project octave):

BTW Lachlan,

This Windows debugging issue is exactly the reason I suggested making
textscan() a standalone function to be built as an .oct file.
Then, in Octave on Windows or OSX or Linux or whatever, one can simply do:

mkoctfile textscan.cc

w/o having to make a new dist + cross-build it in mxe-octave + transfer it to
+ install it in Windows; only to catch the next bug for which a complete new
cycle is required.

Hmmm .... now that I mention, I haven't even tried to see if (x)textscan.cc
can be built as suggested as separate .oct file.....

(BTW I found that with the patch, on Linux, make check now gives one FAIL in
data.cc. I'll have to investigate it further).
