Private functions and user objects

[WMennerich]

Hi,
I played a little with Octave 3.1.50, investigating the new user objects
features
(Windows built) and was wondering a little bit:
If a object function is private, i.e. it is stored in an subdirectory named
'private' of the class definition directory (@dirname), octave does not find
this function anymore.

Example:

Directory '@testObj' contains the constructor 'testObj.m' and a function
'fun.m'


A subdirectory of '@testObj', named 'private' contains the function
'privFun.m'.

'fun.m' calls only 'privFun.m' in the 'private' subdirectory

Test:
Create an object:

>>x=testObj(<some arguments>)


Now, call the private function via fun.m:

>>fun(x)

Result: Error: privFun.m was not found.

Is this only a bug or are private functions not yet provided by octave?

Best, Wolfgang
