Update of bug #51649 (project octave):
Status: None => Confirmed
Summary: int64: 0/0 => Octave:divide-by-zero
warning not issued for anything but scalars
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #4:
The Octave:divide-by-zero feature is deprecated (although we never published
anything about that, so that is our fault) and I intended to remove it about 2
years ago, but got busy. It is problematic because 1) it only applies to
scalars, and 2) it is not Matlab compatible.
Since it only applies to scalars it really was never that useful because there
are lots of operations that involve vectors and matrices for which no checking
is done. Also, it slows computations down because instead of forwarding
directly to BLAS, Octave has to check the divisor.
