[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33062] resize and reshape used with objects return structures

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #33062 (project octave):

While testing your patch I ran into some issues.  See below:


octave:1> a = resize (ftp('ftp.octave.org'), 1, 0); 
octave:2> whos a
Variables in the current scope:

  Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
  ==== ====        ====                     =====  ===== 
       a           1x0                          0  struct

Total is 0 elements using 0 bytes

octave:3> b = ftp('ftp.octave.org')
octave:4> whos b
Variables in the current scope:

  Attr Name        Size                     Bytes  Class
  ==== ====        ====                     =====  ===== 
       b           1x1                         38  ftp

Total is 1 element using 38 bytes


Is 'a' really supposed to occupy 0 bytes?

Also, the instance 'a' does not work whereas instance 'b' does.
