[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36067] bug in exist() when checking for a faulty mex/oct file

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #36067 (project octave):

I don't get any segfault, but I do get the reported error


error: caught execution error in library function


when executing the sample code.  For reference, the exist function in
src/variables.cc calls symbol_exist () and that has the following:


size_t pos = name.find ('.');

if (pos != std::string::npos && pos > 0)
  {
    struct_elts = name.substr (pos+1);
    symbol_name = name.substr (0, pos);
  }



This means the extension '.bla' is not used initially when Octave attempts to
find a symbol match.
