[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59451] Function handles become invalid if path to function is removed

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #59451 (project octave):

Oh, the bc-overloads tests rely on function overloading, but there is a
non-class function in the test directory that is now bound to the handle at
the time it is created that prevents the dispatch from happening.  I'm
attaching a simpler test to run in Matlab to see what it does for the same
kind of thing.  Unpack the tar file and cd to the fhtst directory.  Then run
fhtst.m there.  If calling through the handle is the same as when calling fcn
directly, then we need to avoid binding the function when there are overloads
on the path?  This is tricky behavior if you ask me.
