[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63524] dir doesn't do full recursive search with '**'

[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #63524 (project octave):

In bash shell it works differently. From octave build directory:


$ ls ../**
<...all octave files...>
$ ls ../**/*.m
../test/fntests.m  ../test/mk_bc_overloads_expected.m
$ ls ../*/*.m
../test/fntests.m  ../test/mk_bc_overloads_expected.m

in octave

octave:1> glob("../**")
ans =
{
  [1,1] = ../CITATION
  [2,1] = ../COPYING
  [3,1] = ../COPYRIGHT.md
  [4,1] = ../INSTALL
  [5,1] = ../Makefile.am
  [6,1] = ../Makefile.in
  [7,1] = ../README
  [8,1] = ../aclocal.m4

  [34,1] = ../run-octave.in
  [35,1] = ../scripts
  [36,1] = ../src
  [37,1] = ../test
}

octave:2> glob("../**/*.m")
ans =
{
  [1,1] = ../test/fntests.m
  [2,1] = ../test/mk_bc_overloads_expected.m
}
