[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36954] datenum and datevec convert date string incorrectly

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #36954 (project octave):

Can we have someone with access to Matlab verify whether datenum produces the
same result when fed either a string or a datevector?

In Octave, the code forks.  A datevector is used to directly calculate a
datenum.  If a string is presented to datenum it must first be converted to a
datevector by calling datevec() and this starts to involve localtime() and
other system specific features.
