[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #37520] run() does not execute functions

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #37520 (project octave):

Although the Matlab documentation says run() is there to document scripts, it
does actually run functions just fine as well, and it does not interpret them
as scripts or anything.

In fact, the function below works in Matlab and Octave, and it reproduces the
correct behavior in this context. So, I do not think it would be hard or
disadvantageous to be Matlab compatible in this case.

I can't really comment on the links that you are referring to, since they seem
to deal with different issues.

Regards,
Clemens

function runit(s)

[p,s,ext]=fileparts(s);
cwd = pwd();
cd(p);
try
        eval([s ';']);
catch e
        cd(cwd)
        rethrow(e);
end

cd(cwd);
