As per the warning message, Matlab detects that the class was modified and that undefined behavior may occur until you "clear" any instances of that class. After "clear", the new defn is used.

I think the difference between ML and Octave is that "clear" is sufficient in Matlab whereas "clear classes" is required in Octave. Plus, no warning message.

Is this a Matlab compatibility issue or just a user misunderstanding? Does Matlab automatically reload class properties when files are modified, or is a "clear <something>" required?

If you 'clear all' (or clear -classes) then it looks like Octave picks up the new class properties. In Matlab a 'clear' is sufficient.


MATLAB:

>> f=classfoo()


f =

  classfoo with properties:

     bar: 'value'
    bar2: 1


%% Now modify the classfoo.m file to add a new property.


>> g=classfoo()

Warning: The class file for 'classfoo' has been changed, but the change cannot be applied because objects based on the
old class file still exist. If you use those objects, you might get unexpected results. You can use the 'clear'
command to remove those objects. See 'help clear' for information on how to remove those objects.

g =

  classfoo with properties:

     bar: 'value'
    bar2: 1

>> clear
>> g=classfoo()


g =

  classfoo with properties:

     bar: 'value'
    bar2: 1
    bar3: 'test'

I cannot work with classdefs in Octave GUI because they are cached.

When I create and save a class with several properties and save it and then use it in the console the class is cached somewhere. When I add some new properties or change values of current ones I do not see such changes from octave console (inside GUI), so new props are not added, old props are not changed. It is a serious problem that forces me to move to Matlab in my project that I really do not want to do =((((

To reproduce the proble create a class

classdef foo
  properties
    bar = 'value'
  end
end

then save the file and to console
$ myfoo = foo()
myfoo.bar

You will get 'value" for the bar. But then if you will add several other properties to the class they will not be found and if you change bar value in class description it will still display the oldone.
