[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41202] Spurious output when path() called with 'echo on'

[Michael C. Grant]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #41202 (project octave):

Actually, MATLAB's behavior does differ here: it does not echo script commands
when those scripts are called by functions.

For example, consider files func1.m


function y = func1(x)
script2
script2
y = x;


and script2.m:


x = x + 1;


Obviously, if I type "func1(1)" on the command line, I get the result "3" out.
In MATLAB, the output looks like this, with both ECHO ON and ECHO OFF.


>> echo off
>> func1(1)

ans =

     3

>> echo on
>> func1(1)

ans =

     3



In Octave, I get this:


>> echo off
>> func1(1)
ans =  3
>> echo on
>> func1(1)
x = x + 1;
endscript;
x = x + 1;
endscript;
ans =  3
