[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46497] classdef: delete destructor method is not called when clearing handle class

[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #46497 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Ready For Test

Follow-up Comment #3:

Piotr: I pushed your change.  That uncovered a bug in the evaluator that I
introduced with my big refactor last year.  Then I realized that Octave would
crash if an exception was thrown in the delete method, so I fixed that with
the same technique as is used in the octave_oncleanup destructor.  The final
set of patches are:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/4a46c83bcb71
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/b328ff3ce0f7
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/56201aad3462

maintainers: I know it's very late for this kind of thing, but I pushed on
stable because having a working delete method makes handle classes
substantially more useful and the bug in the evaluator was serious trouble
waiting to happen.
