[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47874] error/warning fail when only argument looks like an error/warning ID

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #47874 (project octave):

Alright, so Octave is doing the right thing here. We could be a little more
picky in what we accept as an error identifier, so maybe something like


error ("0:100")


would be allowed. But if you pass a single string that looks like it should be
an identifier, then this is a valid usage error.

Anyone care to test whether Matlab accepts something like


error('0:0')
error('1one:two')
error('_:_')
error('_invalid:identifier')
error('Matlab:_asdf')


as an error string? These should not be accepted as identifiers according to
the help, so maybe Matlab just prints them as the message?
