[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #32316] Feature request: timer object functions

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #32316 (project octave):

The issue is not the user interface.  That can be coded up in m-files,
classdef, or whatever.  The issue is that timers themselves are tricky objects
and getting them to also work with the interpreter itself (what if Octave is
doing something already when the timer fires?).

Certainly things have gotten easier since 2011 in that C++ or Qt offer
building blocks that could make this possible.  But it will be a huge effort
to gather everything together and fit them in to the current architecture of
the interpreter.
