[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49421] Can't set properties in a subclass after chaining constructors in base class

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #49421 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => Invalid                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #8:

pipeng: I'm not sure what you are running, but the example for me does the
same as the original sym/symfun example:


>> class (derived (1))
ans = base


This is with the single subsasgn() call commented out, which normally causes
the error.

Abhinav, re comment #7: This is from testing in Matlab, right?

I think that what you suggest is a really bad workaround for a few reasons,
and I think Colin would agree, but we can discuss that on the octsympy issue
tracker.

So it seems that there is no Octave bug here, we are compatible with Matlab,
and it's just bad practice to have a classdef-based constructor call itself if
you are planning on subclassing that object.
