I am experiencing the same problem in the Dynare testsuite. I confirm that the patch in comment #2 fixes the issue.

The issue is caused by recent changes in bp-table.cc (break point table handling): In certain cases the function parameter flag "silent" of "remove_all_breakpoints" was ignored.

This flag silent is used by the out_of_date_check function, which calls "remove_all_breakpoints" with "silent = true".

(pkg load uses "common_size" which was replaced by the OCT function via "out_of_date_check" and then Octave threw the observed error as the flag silent was ignored)


A patch is attached which solves the issue.

After bisecting the problem:
 

The issue has been introduced with changeset 32410:554a932fc6d0. Before this commit, the described error did not occur.

I have a sub-directory which contains an OCT compiled function. This function shadows the core function common_size (I am aware of the implications).

Case a) throws error
====================
When octave is started, a pkg (it could be any!) is loaded, the sub-directory added (which gives correctly a warning) and then the function is called the FIRST time, octave throws an error:
 

pkg load io;
addpath("./OCT");
[a1,a2,a3] = common_size(1,1);


results in


warning: function ..../OCT/common_size.oct shadows a core library function
error: add_breakpoints_in_function: unable to find function 'common_size'




When the same command is executed on the command line after the error for a SECOND time, it works without throwing an error and any times afterwards.

[a1,a2,a3] = common_size(1,1)
a1 = 0
a2 = 1
a3 = 1



case b) works without any problems
==================================
When no package is loaded after octave start, it works without any problem:

addpath("./OCT");
[a1,a2,a3] = common_size(1,1);


warning: function ..../OCT/common_size.oct shadows a core library function
a1 = 0
a2 = 1
a3 = 1
