Follow-up Comment #2:

This is definitely weird.  The inputname() function, which does a lot of
voodoo, seems to be at the heart of it.  I tried something slightly different
as I wondered if having the output of inputname() go directly into a variable
and then using that variable would change things.  It didn't.  Next I tried
eliminating the printf() entirely.  This was even stranger as now the variable
'ans' is populated with whatever was in the output stream, in this case
"hello", rather than the name of the class.


classdef tc

  methods

    function a = tc()
      #nothing to do
    endfunction

    function display(a)
      str = inputname (1);
      disp ('hello');
      #printf (" %s = my test\n", str);
    endfunction

  endmethods

endclassdef
