[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60209] octave crashes when some .oct files are updated

[Rik]

Update of bug #60209 (project octave):

                Priority:              5 - Normal => 3 - Low                
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  Behavior is also present on the development branch.

I would say that this is a corner case and there is an easy workaround.  Clear
the reference to the function in the Octave interpreter before overwriting the
file on disk.

If, for example, you are in a code/compile/debug loop for a .oct file then the
only addition to this is


clear -f NAME_OF_FUNCTION


after you are done debugging and ready to change the code, compile, and
overwrite the existing .oct file.

Because there is a simple way to avoid this I'm lowering the priority, but it
would still be nice to figure out why this isn't working.
