[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50752] inputParser Parameter key are parsed as Optional

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #50752 (project octave):

Well, Matlab compatibility seems to make it impossible to have
positional options whose value is a parameter key.  I pushed this
change which adds those tests and also works for Switch options:

Can someone with Matlab tell us how it behaves in the following cases?

+verbatim-+
%% Does this errors about missing value for parameter line?
p = inputParser ();
p.addOptional ('op1', 'val1');
p.addParameter ('line', 'circle');
p.parse ('line');
p.Results ()



%% Does this error about invalid argument for line? Or does it
%% backtracks and retests it as values for op1 and op2?
p = inputParser ();
p.addOptional ('op1', 'val1');
p.addOptional ('op2', 'val2');
p.addParameter ('line', 'circle', @ischar);
p.parse ('line', 89);
p.Results ()




%% If there's enough arguments to fill the positional options and
param/key, does it do it?
p = inputParser ();
p.addOptional ('op1', 'val1');
p.addOptional ('op2', 'val2');
p.addParameter ('line', 'tree');
p.parse ('line', 'circle', 'line', 'rectangle');
p.Results ()
