Re: Crash with inline

[David Bateman]

This made me check how matlab/octave handle different versions
of the function when changing directory. Consider the matlab
example

>> test(1);
>> which test
/home/dbateman/tmp/test.m
>> cd ..
>> which test
/home/dbateman/test.m

Doing the same in octave gives

octaveL1> test(1);
octave:2> which test
test is the user-defined function from the file
/home/dbateman/tmp/test.m
octave:3> cd ..
octave:4> which test
test is the user-defined function from the file
/home/dbateman/tmp/test.m

So it seems that octave keeps the compiled version from its symbol 
table even after the directory change, while matlab picks up the 
fact that there is a new version in the loadpath. What I suspect
that matlab does is that when doing a cd it invalidates all of the
functions in its symbol table that are located elsewhere it its
loadpath after the directory change...

Should octave do the same thing?

David
