[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59451] Function handles become invalid if path to function is removed

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #59451 (project octave):

OK.

What happens if you move the @single and @double directories down one level so
they are hidden at the time the function handle is created?  So do


mkdir foo
rename @double foo/@double
rename @single foo/@single


and then in the fhtst.m script, cd to the new foo directory *after* fh = @fcn
is created?  Is FH bound to the fcn.m in the top directory or does it respect
the overloads at that point?

If it picks up the overloads, then I'm wondering whether that is some kind of
function call thing that we have fundamentally "wrong" in Octave.  Ugh.

If the description above isn't clear, then I'll create a new tar file with
exactly the file layout that I mean and the tests to run.
