[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54052] the global statement clears previously assigned values

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #54052 (project octave):

As a test case


x = 12
global x
clear x
x = 4
global x


In this case, x assumes the value of 12.  This is correct, but there is no
warning: "warning: global: global value overrides local value" for the second
global statement.

For the first global statement, I agree that a more appropriate warning would
be 'initialized to existing local variable'.
