[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55013] Terminate on start ('std::out_of_range')

[Rik]

Update of bug #55013 (project octave):

                  Status:                 Invalid => Patch Submitted

Follow-up Comment #13:

Attached is a changeset that appears to solve the problem for me.  Now when
starting I get


$ octave -f -q
warning: {.: Unmatched {
warning: called from
    /home/rik/local/lib/octave/5.0.0/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/PKG_ADD at line 4
column 1


This is the warning that is in kpse.cc and is supposed to be triggered.


      /* What if there isn't a matching close brace? */
      if (! c)
        {
          (*current_liboctave_warning_with_id_handler)
            ("Octave:pathsearch-syntax",
             "%s: Unmatched {", text.c_str ());

          result = std::list<std::string> (1, text);
        }


It might make sense to add to the warning message because, while the code
doesn't segfault anymore, I would have a hard time debugging this back to a
typo in the PATH variable.
