I applied the patch and now I see
octave:5> x = sparse (2,0)
x = Compressed Column Sparse (rows = 2, cols = 0, nnz = 0)
octave:6> x(:,1:2) = speye (2)
x =
1 0
0 1
octave:7> x(:,3:4) = speye (2)
x =
1 0 1 0
0 1 0 1
so it seems OK, but what is happening here:
octave:1> x = sparse (2,0)
x = Compressed Column Sparse (rows = 2, cols = 0, nnz = 0)
octave:2> x(:,2,3) = speye (2)
error: A(I, J) = X: can only have 1 or 2 indexes for sparse matrices
error: assignment failed, or no method for `sparse matrix = sparse matrix'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 2, column 10
octave:2> x
x = Compressed Column Sparse (rows = 2, cols = 0, nnz = 0)
octave:3> x(:,1:2) = speye (2)
error: A(I, J) = X: can only have 1 or 2 indexes for sparse matrices
error: assignment failed, or no method for `sparse matrix = sparse matrix'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 3, column 10
The command on line 2 was a mistake, but it seems to have a persistent
effect. Even though x still seems to be a 2x0 sparse matrix,
subsequent assignments fail after the first failure. Clearing x
allows it to work again, but how is it that the error is causing the
later failures?
