[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57229] embedded.cc example in examples/code starts an interactive interpreter

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #57229 (project octave):

Adding jwe to the CC list since this is probably only resolvable with his
help.

This might be quite simple.  It may be that the API has changed and it is the
example code in embedded.cc that needs to change.

I can get this to work if I make this change

It seems that the member function execute both calls initialize() and runs the
interactive version.

If embedded.cc is going to change then the prototype for initialize() should
probably also be changed to return an exit code rather than void.  After
initialization, the code in embedded.cc is


if (status != 0)
  {
    std::cerr << "creating embedded Octave interpreter failed!"
              << std::endl;
    return status;
  }


which relies on a status indication output.
