[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #38164] inline doesn't understand x(:) (and other indexing of x)

[Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso]

Update of bug #38164 (project octave):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 2 - Minor              
                Priority:              5 - Normal => 1 - Later

Follow-up Comment #3:

So this is where the problem is:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/bbce6de5c0a5/libinterp/octave-value/ov-fcn-inline.cc#l704

The inline parser assumes that "foo(bar)" whatever is always a function call,
regardless of what foo and bar may be. This is actually documented: " All
arguments followed by a parenthesis are considered to be functions."

I don't know how to fix this. A reasonable thing would be to check the symbol
table for the existence of a function with this name, but exclude some
functions such as i and j.

I'm lowering the priority for this, since there are a couple of easy
work-arounds and inline functions should be deprecated in favour of anonymous
functions.
