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

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #36067 (project octave):

                Category:                    None => Libraries              
                  Status:                    None => Works For Me

Follow-up Comment #7:

I don't see any problem with the development version of Octave, unless I am
missing something:


octave:28> mex existtest.c
octave:29> exist("existtest.bla", "file")
ans = 0
octave:30> exist("existtest.mex", "file")
ans =  2
octave:31> exist("existtest", "file")
ans =  3
octave:32> rename ("existtest.mex", "existtest.bla");
octave:33> exist("existtest.bla", "file")
ans =  2
octave:34> exist("existtest", "file")
ans = 0


What exactly is the supposed bug with exist in this scenario? I'm ignoring
anything about mixing versions of Octave because that's an incorrect use case
to begin with.
