[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46852] error gripe appearing when it seemingly shouldn't during length()

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #46852 (project octave):

How about something like the attached patch?  The change is basically a
warning about using a variable that matches something in the symbol table but
not until it causes a conflict.
  Here is the behavior:


octave:1> ggg = 34
ggg =  34
octave:2> ggg('u')
error: ggg(117): out of bound 1
octave:2> ls = 1
ls =  1
octave:3> ls('u')
error: ls(117): out of bound 1
hint: function ls() may have been inadvertently redefined
