Re: "warning" control syntax difference between Matlab and Octave 3.6.1

[Stefan]

OK, this is a workaround for my problem:

%-----------------------------------------
function varargout = warning(varargin)

if nargin == 1 && isstruct(varargin{1})
    for j = 1:length(varargin{1})
        w = varargin{1}(j);
        builtin('warning',w.state,w.identifier);
    end
else
    [varargout{1:nargout}] = builtin('warning',varargin{:});
end
%-----------------------------------------

Now the Matlab library works without modifications in Octave, and I think I
haven't compromised the functionality of "warning" too much. Obviously,
"help warning" wouldn't work right now, unless I paste the doc string into
the overloading file.

Note that even

>> warning('on',ID)

behaves differently in Matlab and Octave. Matlab will just remove ID from
the warning structure array, so that ID is handled under 'all' : 'on', while
Octave appends ID to the warning structure, with status 'on', regardless of
the state of 'all'.

While the fix above apparently works, it seems these differences in the
handling of the warning structure array could be easily removed on Octave's
side.

Many thanks for your time,
Stefan
