Follow-up Comment #11, bug #56187 (project octave):
> Many uses of script files that contain functions could be handled perfectly
well with Matlab-style local functions that are not globally visible.
Converting Octave scripts to work that way would be fairly easy.
I agree. I think that would be better programming practice, too: keeping the
scope of definitions only as wide as necessary, and reducing the risk of
collisions in the global namespace.
> If people really want to be able to define globally visible functions in a
script file, then maybe we could provide some way to mark them as such (an
export function or command?).
Maybe we could repurpose the `global` keyword, and use it as a qualifier for
those functions?
global function foo(x)
[...]
endfunction
Or maybe a global functions block to stick them in, like classdefs have static
method blocks?
global functions
function foo(x)
[...]
endfunction
function bar(x)
[...]
endfunction
endfunctions
