[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50238] sum, cumsum, etc. mishandle integer inputs

[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #50238 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any                    
                 Summary: Functions "sum" & "cumsum" handle data types
differently than "+" operator => sum, cumsum, etc. mishandle integer inputs

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.  It looks like we have some issues with the optional argument
specifying how the operation should be performed.  Matlab doesn't seem to have
this argument for the cumulative functions.  And Octave is returning double
for cumsum by default, same as for sum.  I think we need to start with some
tests to see exactly what we are aiming for.
