[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65538] xint_value does not work the way it is intended

[Arun Giridhar]

Update of bug #65538 (group octave):

                  Status:                    None => Patch Submitted        
         Planned Release:  9.2.0 (current stable) => 10.1.0 (current default)

Follow-up Comment #2:

I've attached two patches to introduce a few new functions in ov.h and ov.cc,
and to use them elsewhere.

I've retargeted to default instead of stable since the API changes with the
addition of new functions.

Without these two patches, in addition to the problems described in comment
#0, code like `cell (e, pi)` silently creates a 2x3 cell array, unlike
functions like `zeros` and `ones` which at least complain about non-integer
dimensions.

With the patches, those missed errors are fixed. Non-boolean values being
converted to boolean function inputs now give a warning.

When testing, apply integer.patch first, then the idx_bool.patch next.

(file #55909, file #55910)
