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

[Judd Storrs]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #29476 (project octave):

Is the goal to support Matlab files without modification or to make it
possible to optionally use "do" as a variable? This also came up in my attempt
to use niftimatlib and I ended up just doing a find replace to turn all "do"
into "_do".

Perhaps one other way to deal with this would be if traditional mode could be
triggered based on presence of some sort of canary file in a directory. So
that if I have a bunch of Matlab files in say, "mymatlabfiles" that I intend
to be compatible with both platforms, I could create
"mymatlabfiles/.octave_traditional_mode" or something similar to help the
interpreter keep octave extensions out of that code by accident? You'd still
have to mark the directory but it could be easier than marking each file or
function?
