    _______________________________________________________

Details:

inputParser class can easily print very helpful information if the validation
function of a parsed argument fails.

Because validation functions very often are anonymous functions it is usefull
to print the function body to give immediate information which check failed.

For that purpose line 506 in inputParser.m (octave 4.2.0) has to be replaced
by

this.error (sprintf ("failed validation of %s with %s", toupper
(name),func2str(val)));


I found this usefull.

Georg
