[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #31287] Certain assignments of empty arrays give errors (Matlab incompatibility)

[Iain Murray]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #31287 (project octave):

Thank you for looking at this issue (and as always, for Octave). As the
original submitter I don't think that the bug I actually submitted has been
fixed though.

The first example from the original report still crashes in Octave tip. As
that original post explains, this case can arrive from fairly reasonable code.
The example was a simplified version of some real Matlab code that I was
trying out in Octave.

I appreciate the idea that sizes should usually match. But it's always been
the case in the Octave and Matlab languages that when dimensions are sometimes
(but not always) of size 1, weird stuff can happen. Matlab and Octave have a
ball of hacks to make these cases more friendly. Please have another look at
the motivating example and see what you think.
