[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63841] nargout is always 0 or 1 for subsref() in classdef methods

[A.R. Burgers]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #63841 (project octave):

Unfortunately this approach seems to break something else.
I applied your change.

I changed the class to have a property:


classdef tst_nargout
  properties
    a_property = 1;
  end
  methods
    function varargout = subsref(obj, s)
      fprintf('nargout=%d, s(1).type = %s\n', nargout, s(1).type);
      varargout = {nargout, s(1).type, 'arg3'};
    end
  end
end


and call that class like this from a containers.Map:


m = containers.Map;
cm('first') = tst_nargout;

if cm('first').a_property
  true
end


I get this error.


error: subsref: function called with too many outputs
error: called from
    subsref
    u2 at line 4 column 4
