[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #29476] Parser incompatibility for keywords against Matlab implementation, infinite loop

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #29476 (project octave):

I don't think that disabling do-until loops is a good solution, even (or
maybe especially) if it is only done for --traditional. Although there does
not appear to be any code in Octave itself that uses do-until, there are a
number of uses in Octave Forge packages.  Disabling do-until loops would mean
that all of that code would not work in --traditional mode.

You seem to have the mistaken impression that a goal of the Octave project is
for it to be an exact clone of Matlab.  Although compatibility does have a
relatively high priority, I don't think that 100% compatibility is the target.
