[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #62405] Out of Bound(OOB) on subsindex()

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #62405 (project octave):

>From the documentation of subsindex:
https://octave.org/doc/v7.1.0/Defining-Indexing-And-Indexed-Assignment.html#index-subsindex

> When obj is a class object defined with a class constructor, then subsindex
is the overloading method that allows the conversion of this class object to a
valid indexing vector.

If I understand that correctly, `subsindex` converts the object to an indexing
vector (to be able to index *into* something else). And that seems to be what
is happening (and working ass expected) in your examples.

>From what you are describing, I guess that you would like to index into the
object with an already existing indexing vector. Is that correct? In that
case, you might want to overload `subsref`:
https://octave.org/doc/v7.1.0/Defining-Indexing-And-Indexed-Assignment.html#index-subsref

And index into your object like, e.g., `input_container(b)` (so, the other way
round).
