[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47763] saving a function handle to user function saves full path

[Guillaume]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #47763 (project octave):

With a core function (bar()):


>> type /tmp/bar.m

function bar
disp('Hello')
>> addpath /tmp
>> % create bar.mat with Matlab
>> cd ~
address@hidden;
>> functions(f)

ans = 

    function: 'bar'
        type: 'simple'
        file: '/tmp/bar.m'

>> save bar.mat f -v6
>> % load when file is where expected and in the path
>> addpath /tmp
>> load bar.mat
>> functions(f)

ans = 

    function: 'bar'
        type: 'simple'
        file: '/tmp/bar.m'

>> f()
Hello
>> % load when file is where expected but not in the path
>> rmpath /tmp
>> load bar.mat
>> functions(f)

ans = 

    function: 'bar'
        type: 'simple'
        file: '/usr/local/MATLAB/R2016a/toolbox/matlab/specgraph/bar.m'

>> f()
Error using bar (line 47)
Not enough input arguments.
 
>> % load when file is elsewhere in the path
>> movefile('/tmp/bar.m',pwd)
>> load bar.mat
>> functions(f)

ans = 

    function: 'bar'
        type: 'simple'
        file: '/home/foo/bar.m'

>> f()
Hello



With a core function, the behaviour is the same apart from many warning to be
displayed:


Warning: Function plot has the same name as a MATLAB builtin. We suggest you
rename the function to avoid a potential name conflict.


Re your change of summary: as mentioned in my previous comment, the issue is
with load and not save (there's a separate bug report for that, bug #43215).
