[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #30666] error: invalid assignment to cs-list outside multiple assignment.

[Judd Storrs]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #30666 (project octave):

I asked a buddy to check this out in the M. Apparently M also hates it with
this result:

>> a = ones(2,1) ;
>> a.x = a ;
??? Warning: Struct field assignment overwrites a value with class "double".
 See MATLAB 7.0.4 Release Notes, Assigning Nonstructure Variables As
Structures Displays Warning for details.
>> 

The release note indicates that prior to 7.0.4 this would not produce an
error and that the variable would be quietly converted to a structure.
Additionally the release note goes on to politely explain that if you're doing
this, you're doing it wrong.
