Why do you think the assignment should go through subsasgn?
I think that a private class method should be able to access fields directly, just like non-private methods.

I checked in the following fix to address the problem:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/f687bd17ce21

If you think it should work otherwise, please clarify and support your opinion by quoting matlab docs or showing examples.

Hello,

while trying the latest code from mercurial, I've got a problem. The class constructor calls private/df_pad.m, which fails as follows:

function df = df_pad(df, dim, n, coltype=[])
  switch dim
    case 1
      %# complete row indexes
      if isempty(df._ridx),
dummy = (1:n).';
      else
dummy = vertcat(df._ridx, repmat(NA, n, size(df._ridx, 2)));
      endif
      df._ridx = dummy; <= fails

the code is called with an empty dataframe, dim = 1, n = 10.

Error message is
malformed class
assignement failed, or no method for 'class=matrix'

In principle, the assignement must be performed through subasgn, which it itself busy calling df_pad. The code works under 3.2.4, is there some reason while it fails under 3.3.52 ? Should I play between classes and struct to handle directly modifications of the class variable ?

The problem can be reproduced as follows:
- install the dataframe package from octave-forge
- x=dataframe('octave_frame/data_test.csv');


Regards

Pascal
