There have been a few improvements to namespaces and classdef classes, but this is still a problem on the Octave 6 development branch.


ver = 6.0.0
hg_id = 29bcb31edd76
ans =  3
ans =  3.1416
ans =  3
error: subsref: unknown method or property: report_pi
error: called from

adding a prototype in +pckg/Myclass.m for report_pi helps, but shouldn't be necessary I guess:


classdef Myclass
   methods (Static)
      output = staticFunc1(arg1,arg2)
   end
   methods
     val = report_pi(obj)
   end
end


The discussion in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45444 is on functions in a private subdir. But that is not necessary with classdefs where you can declare the prototype of the private functions in a method (Access = private) block, as per https://nl.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/methods-in-separate-files.html

I don't think any of the patches and tests proposed there by amro made it to the mercurial repository.

Is this one of the many cases reported in bug #45444?

consider the hierarchy below with the same functions and methods and definition for Myclass and pckg.Myclass.


./@Myclass/report_pi.m
./@Myclass/Myclass.m
./@Myclass/staticFunc1.m
./+pckg/@Myclass/report_pi.m
./+pckg/@Myclass/Myclass.m
./+pckg/@Myclass/staticFunc1.m
./test_Myclass.m


Executing test_Myclass.m with octave (stable and dev) gives this error message


ver = 4.4.1
hg_id = 7a7c31b93216+
ans =  3
ans =  3.1416
ans =  3
error: subsref: unknown method or property: report_pi


the report_pi method is not found in package +pckg.
Remarkably the static function is found in both cases.
The function definitions are below:


function val = report_pi(obj)
  val = pi;
end



function output = staticFunc1(arg1,arg2)
  output = arg1 + arg2;
end



classdef Myclass
   methods (Static)
      output = staticFunc1(arg1,arg2)
   end
end



% save script as test_Myclass.m
ver = version
hg_id = __octave_config_info__.hg_id
a = Myclass;
a.staticFunc1(1,2)
a.report_pi

b = pckg.Myclass;
b.staticFunc1(1,2)
b.report_pi
