[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39257] handles to nested functions are not yet supported

[CH]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #39257 (project octave):

Hi,
on comment #19:
you are exactly right, the time of creation decides. So each new handle would
require a new copy of the (relevant) local workspace.

on comment #20:
This is something I cannot answer from the top of my head and I will test this
tomorrow.

Generally nested functions should work the same way as anonymous functions
with regard to closures, which work already in Octave as desired. So if you
change the nested function in comment #11 (or comment #19) to an anonymous
function it works. There similarly a copy of the workspace has to be made,
right? If you take your example from comment #20 and change the nested to an
anonymous function, also the persistent variable is "frozen" for each call of
the enclosing function.

Thanks for looking into this.
