[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33014] Assignment of a class to a scalar structure seg faults

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #33014 (project octave):

A simple fix is 

--- src/ov-class.cc~    2011-02-08 11:00:52.000000000 +0100

   // Here we are just looking to see if FCN is a method or constructor
   // for any class, not specifically this one.
-  if (fcn->is_class_method () || fcn->is_class_constructor ())
+  if (fcn && (fcn->is_class_method () || fcn->is_class_constructor ()))
     retval = fcn->dispatch_class ();
 
   return retval;

This fixes my original problem with the segfault. However,I then see another
problem. If I then create a class "testobj" with the constructor

function a = testobj ()
  a.b(1) = ftp('ftp.octave.org');
endfunction

I get the error

error: malformed class
error: assignment to structure element failed
error: assignment failed, or no method for `<unknown type> = class'
error: called from:
error:   /home/dbateman/@testobj/testobj.m at line 2, column 8
