Details:

When I run Octave 4.1.0+ using the graphical user interface, if I modify a
private function that calls other private functions, these private functions
will be considered undefined until I restart Octave.

Consider as an example the file attached:

I run func() which calls private1() which calls private2() which prints a
message as expected:


>> func()
Hello from p2


if I modify private1.m without restarting Octave (adding for example a blank
space), I save it, and I run func() again I get:


>> func()
error: 'private2' undefined near line 4 column 1
error: called from
    private1 at line 4 column 1
    func at line 3 column 1


If I restart Octave then everything works. This affects only private
functions.

I've found this bug in Octave 4.1.0+ using Ubuntu 15.10 and in Octave 4.0.0
using Windows 10.
