The test code when run with the development code for Octave 10.1, produces an error about constructing the classdef object, rather than a max_recursion_depth error.


error: mark_as_constructed: invalid object


I think this is fine.  The constructor for a classdef object must return one object, not an object array.  It's true that "obj(1)" and "obj" should be the same thing, but enabling the parser to handle this special case doesn't seem worth it given how trivial the workaround is.

Marking as Won't Fix and closing report.

Out of curiosity, I was testing further @gramm and came across an infinite recursion at the highlighted lines:
https://github.com/piermorel/gramm/blob/master/%40gramm/gramm.m#L180
https://github.com/piermorel/gramm/blob/master/%40gramm/set_names.m#L29

To reproduce it, use the following class:


classdef recurse
  properties
    value = [];
  endproperties
  methods
    function obj = recurse ()
      obj(1).value.prop = 42;
    endfunction
  endmethods
endclassdef


Calling the constructor returns:


octave:1> recurse
error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
error: called from
    recurse at line 7 column 25


This disappears if obj.value is used instead of obj(1).value.
