[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31793] case statement required for otherwise to be used in a switch

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #31793 (project octave):

One final test case along the lines of the last one.  If I run tst_switch
with the case/otherwise in the correct order it works.  Now, with Octave still
open, modify the file tst_switch.m in an external editor and put the otherwise
block before the case block.  Finally, try re-running tst_switch.  Octave
correctly detects that the script has changed and re-parses it, but now I get
3 parse errors on the same line.  After the first calling instance Octave
quiets down again and subsequent calls to tst_switch produce only 1 parse
error.

Sequence:

tst_switch2
default_something =  1
... Edit tst_switch2 to have otherwise in front of case block ...
tst_switch2
