[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56856] Matlab calls class subsasgn method with array of double instead of class type

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #56856 (project octave):

I would also like to point out that if the LHS value is passed as a double
array, then a simple override like this that currently works in Octave would
start to fail:


function y = subsasgn (a, s, b)
  a(s.subs{:}) = b;
  y = a;
endfunction


I'm also confused why the 'val' value is passed in as a double array, but a
direct call to subsasgn like this with a builtin class fails in Matlab:


y = subsasgn (zeros(1, 10), substruct('()', {10}), inputParser())

The following error occurred converting from inputParser to double:
Conversion to double from inputParser is not possible.
