Follow-up Comment #1, bug #44793 (project octave):
I just checked and we have had assert([]) be a no-op since at least version
3.2.4 of Octave. Maybe we should change that? In scripting languages like
Perl the empty value, such as "", is interpreted as false and so assert
(false) should produce an error.
In other cases in Octave we do assume that [] is false. For example,
if ([])
disp ("True");
else
disp ("False");
endif
prints out False.
