Details:

Hi,

I found the following compatibility issue.

The result of scalar product between complex row vectors or between complex
column vectors in octave is the complex conjugate of the matlab result.
for instance the following instructions

a = [2-i; 1+i];
b = [-1-i; -1+i];
a'*b

in octave give the result

ans = -1 + 1i

but in matlabe give

ans =

  -1.0000 - 1.0000i

The same holds using column vectors and a*b'

Is it something I get wrong or a bug?

Thank you
