Follow-up Comment #1:

This has already been changed for the 4.4.1 bug fix release.


octave:3> version
ans = 4.4.1-rc2
octave:4> testglobal
a =

   1   2   3

warning: global: 'a' is defined in the current scope
warning: called from
    testglobal at line 5 column 1
warning: global: in a future version, global variables must be declared before
use
warning: called from
    testglobal at line 5 column 1
warning: global: existing local value used to initialize global variable
warning: called from
    testglobal at line 5 column 1
a =

   1   2   3



The reporting is a little verbose because "backtrace" is turned on for every
single line, but nevertheless the behavior is the same.

Marking as fixed and closing report.
