[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55029] pause() with no arguments does not return like kbhit() with glibc 2.28

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #57, bug #55029 (project octave):

Thanks for taking the effort to bring up a system to test this! You have
already helped narrow this down even further, I had forgotten about the
difference between the blocking 'kbhit ()' and the non-blocking 'kbhit (1)'.
So I can confirm that 'kbhit (1)' causes 'kbhit ()' to stop waiting for input.
But the first one does return a character if input is already waiting on
stdin. I can reproduce this in earlier versions of Octave.

Also, running octave --no-line-editing and calling 'kbhit(1)' causes Octave to
exit immediately.
