It now works for me as well. Thanks.

I checked in the following changeset:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/40f311a69417

This change seems to fix the problem for me, so I'm closing this report.

Accessing fields of an object should be done directly from within a method (ie not calling subsref/subsasgn): while this is the case for a public class method and for a private class method (see:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30909), it is not for a subfunction of a private class method.

This can be reproduced with the following code:

==================== @testclass/testclass.m ====================
function obj = testclass(varargin)
obj = struct('public',1, 'private',0);
obj = class(obj,'testclass');

==================== @testclass/subsref.m ====================
function dat = subsref(obj,subs)
switch subs.type
    case '.'
        switch subs.subs
            case 'public'
                %dat = obj.param;
                dat = param(obj);
            otherwise
                error('err');
        end
    otherwise
        error('err');
end

==================== @testclass/private/param.m ====================
function dat = param(obj)
%dat = obj.public; % direct access => works
dat = param2(obj); % => subfunction calls subsref => crash

function dat = param2(obj)
dat = obj.public; % calls subsref...

========================================
octave> a = testclass;
octave> a.public

results in an infinite loop param<->subsref in Octave, while this works as expected in MATLAB.
