demo peculiarity

[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

I found some peculiar behavior for "demo". I am not sure if this is a bug
or a feature.

Lets say I have two files testx.m that defines function :

function testx(str)
       disp(["testx: ", str])
endfunction

One file in the current directory and another one in subdirectory "testdir".
The file in the current directory has a demo code:

%!demo
%! testx("test1")

The file in the subdirectory has a different demo code:


%!demo
%! testx("test2")

octave:> which testx
testx is the user-defined function from the file
/home/dima/octave/testx.m

octave:> type testx
testx is the user-defined function defined from: /home/dima/octave/testx.m

function testx(str)
       disp(["testx: ", str])
endfunction


%!demo
%! testx("test1")

(Everyhing looks fine here since "." is ahead of "./testdir" in the path.)

Yet:

octave:> demo testx
testx example 1:
 testx("test2")

testx: test2

This is all with octave 2.9.9 from Fedora Core 6.

Any comments?

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
