[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37521] clear('functions') deletes subfunctions

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #37521 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info              
                 Summary: Not sure of Matlab allows passing arguments as well.
=> clear('functions') deletes subfunctions

Follow-up Comment #2:

(Changed title for you.)

What effect do you expect from "clear functions"?

FYI, Octave -unlike Matlab- does not have nested subfunctions implemented
(yet) (although I think it is in the dev version now).

What's the output of the following (in both Octave and Matlab):

$ cat <<EOF >subfunction.m
function subfunction()
clear functions;
end
subfunction_1();
function subfunction_1()
fprintf('hi\n');
end
EOF
$ octave

> subfunction


?  (note the two end statements - in Octave we'd rather use "endfunction" but
with "end" you can also run it in Matlab)
