[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41888] fminsearch: should pass additional arguments to called function

[Hartmut]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #41888 (project octave):

I have tested Markus' second patch from comment #9 with the current "stable"
branch from the octave repository (hg id 4c0f78b3c86f).

* With this patch applied, Octave runs the small demo script from my original
post just fine. So this patch fully solves original my issue.

* The second allowed Matlab syntax (see comment #7) also works fine with this
patch applied.

* To my astonishment, this patch even makes passing multiple parameters to the
called function possible, something like "fminsearch(@myfun, start, options,
par1, par2, par3)". This is also (legacy) valid Matlab syntax as can be seen
here: http://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/newsreader/view_thread/162350

* I have also done a "make check" and not had any other failing tests (except
for exptected fails, see bug #48514).

I would be very happy to see this patch in the upcoming Octave 4.2 release. It
would make a lot of our legacy Matlab code work out of the box.
