[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52111] meta.class.* does not work after after 'clear classes'

[Piotr Held]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52111 (project octave):

I found out a new bug and solved it with this patch (which I don't think there
is a need to submit a separate bug, it's all quite intertwined). Octave will
close when calling:


meta.event
# or
meta.dynamicproperty


which the latter isn't even Matlab compatible.

The patch introduces two methods:
# cdef_manager::install_meta_classes_in_symtab which is a way of avoiding code
duplication.
# cdef_manager::reinit which takes the classes and packages created in
cdef_manager::initialize() and reloads them. I could call
cdef_manager::initialize again but that increases memory leak from Bug #52123
<https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52123>.

I removed tmp_meta* cdef objects from cdef_manager::intialize since they did
not really serve any purpose and only cluttered the code. I also removed
references to events and dynproperties as they are not implemented and only
cause confusion/octave termination.

I also added some documentation to cdef_manager (in ov-classdef.h)
