[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64242] destructor is executed even if the constructor fails and throws an error

[Rik]

Update of bug #64242 (project octave):

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

Follow-up Comment #2:

We should keep Matlab compatible behavior here.  Also, this is the correct
behavior from the point of view of either interpreter.  The interpreter
doesn't know where in the constructor an error resulted.  Maybe it was after
significant memory had been allocated?  The best response is for the
interpreter to hand the partially constructed object over to the destructor
and have it do whatever is necessary to clean up the partially or fully
constructed object.

Marking as "Won't Fix".
