[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51412] strcmp with multidimensional char arrays

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #51412 (project octave):

So to me the immediately interesting cases are


>> a = ['aa'; 'bb'];
>> strcmp (a, {a})
ans =

  1
  0

>> strcmp (a, {a,a})
ans =

  1  0



>> a = ['aaa'; 'bbb'; 'ccc'];
>> strcmp (a, {a})
ans =

  1
  0
  0

>> strcmp (a, {a,a})
ans = 0


The 3-dimensional cases probably fail because


>> a = repmat ('a', 3, 3, 3);
>> iscellstr({a})
ans = 1


but elsewhere in Octave's baseline, code expects that if something is a
cellstr, it can be converted into a vector of strings.

What does Matlab iscellstr return in this case?
