[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39703] test script with two outputs doesn't run all tests

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #39703 (project octave):

When %!shared variables are declared they are valid until the next %!shared
declaration.  The test.m script doesn't know whether you used any of the
shared variables or not, but it prints them out in case they were used and had
a bearing on this particular test.  Normally, this is exactly what you want
because the test format tends towards


%!shared x,y,z
%! ... declare x,y,z

%!assert (func (x), y);
%!test
%! tmp = func (x,y);
%! assert (tmp, z);


The %!assert or %!test block wouldn't make sense unless you also knew the
value of the shared variables x,y, and z.  One could try to code a regular
expression to see if any of the shared variables were used in the code snippet
before printing them out, but this sounds like overkill.
