Details:

On a recent version of the development code built today I get


>> cellfun ("isempty", {'a', [], 'b'})
error: cellfun: argument NAME must be a string or function handle


this is used in many functions which are therefore broken:


>> fullfile ("~", ".")
error: cellfun: argument NAME must be a string or function handle
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
error: invalid empty index list
error: called from:
error:   /opt/octave/3.7/share/octave/3.7.0+/m/miscellaneous/fullfile.m at
line 29, column 41



>> edit fullfile
error: cellfun: argument NAME must be a string or function handle
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
error: invalid empty index list
error: called from:
error:   /opt/octave/3.7/share/octave/3.7.0+/m/miscellaneous/fullfile.m at
line 29, column 41
error: evaluating argument list element number 4

153, column 3




>> pkg load msh
error: cellfun: argument NAME must be a string or function handle
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
