[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53331] Can't make function output argument persistent (poor man's constant)

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #53331 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed, and it is a regression from 4.2.

Can be worked around with a simple no-cost copy of the constant to the return
value:


function x = foo ()
  persistent y = 1;
  x = y;
endfunction
