[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34497] 'clear -f' does not work for command line functions

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #34497 (project octave):

A second example of the same issue is test functions declared with the
'%!function' syntax.  Tests are run by the script test.m which uses eval to
bring test functions into existence.  It uses 'clear function_name' after the
test to remove them from the user's workspace.  Because clear does not work
for command line functions these test functions do end up polluting the user's
workspace.

Example code


which xassert
test unwrap
PASSES 5 out of 5 tests
which xassert
`xassert' is a command-line function
