[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51767] Convenience function ovl() may be causing compilation error

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51767 (project octave):

I think it is gcc.  I will confirm in just a bit, as more info comes out after
I started a compilation again (I had to remove -j8 because of a complaint
about dependence on an unfinished process, so it is much slower).

I managed to make the compilation continue with

So, it is that particular format, whereas all other uses of ovl seems fine. 
os is a stream operating on the "who" file, but I don't know what oscanf() is
returning.
