[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55501] subsequent calls to "help @sym/beta" gives "help beta" text

[Colin Macdonald]

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #55501 (project octave):

Ok I've tested the patch.  It seems to fix "__which__":

octave:1> __which__ @ftp/mkdir
ans =
  scalar structure containing the fields:
    name = @ftp/mkdir
    file = /home/cbm/src/octave.hg/scripts/@ftp/mkdir.m
    type = function

octave:2> __which__ @ftp/mkdir
ans =
  scalar structure containing the fields:
    name = @ftp/mkdir
    file = /home/cbm/src/octave.hg/scripts/@ftp/mkdir.m
    type = function


But "help" is still screwy:

octave:1> help @ftp/mkdir
'@ftp/mkdir' is a function from the file
/home/cbm/src/octave.hg/scripts/@ftp/mkdir.m

 -- mkdir (F, PATH)
     Create the remote directory PATH, over the FTP connection F.

     F is an FTP object returned by the 'ftp' function.
octave:2> help @ftp/mkdir
'@ftp/mkdir' is a function from the file
/home/cbm/src/octave.hg/scripts/@ftp/mkdir.m

 -- mkdir DIRNAME
 -- mkdir PARENT DIRNAME
 -- mkdir (DIRNAME)
 -- mkdir (PARENT, DIRNAME)
 -- [STATUS, MSG, MSGID] = mkdir (...)
     Create a directory named DIRNAME in the directory PARENT, creating
     any intermediate directories if necessary.

     If DIR is a relative path, and no PARENT directory is specified,
     then the present working directory is used.

     If successful, STATUS is 1, and MSG and MSGID are empty strings
     ("").  Otherwise, STATUS is 0, MSG contains a system-dependent
     error message, and MSGID contains a unique message identifier.

     When creating a directory permissions will be set to '0777 -
     UMASK'.

     See also: rmdir, pwd, cd, umask.


Note that the "is a function from the file
/home/cbm/src/octave.hg/scripts/@ftp/mkdir.m" is now correct but its still
grabbing the wrong help text.

So there is still a regression just for plain 'ol @classes.
