This has something to do specifically with either the nested definition of one object inside another, or with the indexing operation that is done inside the constructor, or the combination of both.

If I trivially rewrite the constructor to avoid nested indexing and assignments together like this:


tmp = prova (sp.knots(ind));
tmp.dofs = ind;
tmp.spline_space.dofs = tmp.dofs;
sp.boundary(iside) = tmp;


then it works correctly as in Matlab.

The error only happens because of the assignment


sp.boundary(iside).spline_space.dofs = sp.boundary(iside).dofs;


I'm unable to convert this class example to classdef, so I have to assume this affects legacy classes for now, until someone can show an example that also affects classdef.

The issue still appears in 4.3.0+

Using the definitions of classes prova and prova2 in the aasignment


In Octave 3.8.2:


>> p = prova ([0 0 1 1])
p = <class prova>
>> p.boundary.spline_space
ans =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    dofs =

       2   3   4


>>



in Matlab R2007b


>> p = prova ([0 0 1 1])

p =

        prova object: 1-by-1

>> p.boundary.spline_space

ans =

        prova2 object: 1-by-1
