[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9303] __makeinfo__ keeps temp file when makeinfo printed to stderr

[Mike Miller]

Update of patch #9303 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Do                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

I don't think we'll apply this to Octave core, the temporary file is an
implementation detail and shouldn't be left around or shown to the user under
normal behavior.

I understand that this is probably related to building the doc-cache file when
installing a pkg, right? In that context, all of the doc strings are processed
at once and the user has no information about which function caused the
error.

See patch #9464 to get an accurate pass/fail status from the '__makeinfo__'
function.

After doing that, a further improvement might be to catch and report errors in
the doc_cache_create function, which does know about the name of each function
being processed.
