[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50202] automatic padding: a(3)=4

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug#50202 (group octave):

looking at this doc case, just adding that @cbm was correct that classes need
to deal with this themselves, but that may be the case even if they don't
overload subsasgn.  e.g., octave's inputParser does not have a subsref or
subsasgn method, and:



>> b = inputParser()
b =

inputParser object with properties:

   FunctionName    : ""
   CaseSensitive   : false
   KeepUnmatched   : false
   PartialMatching : true
   StructExpand    : true

Defined parameters:

   {}

>> b(5)= inputParser()
error: Invalid resizing operation or ambiguous assignment to an out-of-bounds
array eleme
nt



whereas matlab2023b:


>> b = inputParser()

b = 

  inputParser with properties:

       FunctionName: ''
      CaseSensitive: 0
      KeepUnmatched: 0
    PartialMatching: 1
       StructExpand: 1
         Parameters: {1×0 cell}
            Results: [1×1 struct]
          Unmatched: [1×1 struct]
      UsingDefaults: {1×0 cell}

>> b(4) = inputParser()

b = 

  1×4 inputParser array with properties:

    FunctionName
    CaseSensitive
    KeepUnmatched
    PartialMatching
    StructExpand
    Parameters
    Results
    Unmatched
    UsingDefaults
