[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #34962] The 'computer' function is not Matlab compatible

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #34962 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #3:

I think this is safe to close as won't fix and not a true compatibility bug.
No one has stepped up to "fix" this, no updates in over 3 years. The text
returned by the computer function is informational at best. If we did try to
be completely Matlab-compatible with the returned strings, what should we
return for 32-bit Linux? 64-bit FreeBSD?

If your use case requires the return value to be exactly what Matlab returns,
it's easy enough to write your own computer.m function file that returns the
value you want based on ispc, isunix, etc.
