[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65214] Evaluation of properties referencing other properties fails

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug#65214 (group octave):

I'm attaching a copy of my proposed patch, updated with the bug number.

Does the syntax


    B = MinBug.A * 2


work in Matlab?  That won't work in Octave, even with my change.  But with the
change, you can use


    B = A * 2


If the CLASSNAME.PROPERTY syntax is supposed to work, then the fix for that is
probably similar to the one required for the problem mentioned in this FIXME
note in cdef-class.cc:


      // FIXME: default property expression should be able to call static
      //        methods of the class being constructed.  A restricted
      //        CLASSNAME symbol should be added to the scope before
      //        evaluating default value expressions.
