[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42620] exist() does not use "class" argument

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #42620 (project octave):

created a test class

brokenclass.m:

classdef brokenclass
  a = 
end



>> brokenclass
Error using brokenclass
File: brokenclass.m Line: 2 Column: 1
Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication
operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or other syntax
error. To construct matrices, use brackets instead of
parentheses. 
>> exist('brokenclass')
ans =
     2


deleted the a = line:


>> brokenclass
ans = 
  brokenclass with no properties.
>> exist('brokenclass')
ans =
     2


I'm not sure what it needs to see to make it exist output an 8.
