[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39257] handles to nested functions are not yet supported

[CH]

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #39257 (project octave):

Hi,

I applied the most recent patch set and tested this:


function y = testnested()

 a = 1;

 function nested()

  disp(a);

 end

 y = @nested;

end


The code fails with the error message:

"Handles of nested functions cannot be function return values or the value of
global variables when a function returns"

This is a severe limitation for me, especially considering I can return
handles to anonymous functions. Can this feature be added in a new patch?

Running the nested function inside the host instead of returning a handle
works though.
