genvarname.m

[wlmd888]

Hi,

  I installed Octave 3.0.2 but did not find genvarname.m,
in addition, nargchk.m is slightly different from that in Matlab. Are these functions implemented in this current release?

  Thanks a lot!

It is in the current development sources, so it will appear in the
next major release of Octave.  But it is just a .m file, so maybe it
will also work with 3.0.2.

In what way?

Thanks for your reply!

For nargchk function,

In Octave, the function is defined as:

nargchk (NARGIN_MIN, NARGIN_MAX, N)

In Matlab, the function is defined as:
MSGSTRUCT = NARGCHK(LOW,HIGH,N,'struct')
MSG=NARGCHK(LOW,HIGH,N,'string')
MSG = NARGCHK(LOW,HIGH,N)

So in matlab, it can accept more than 3 parameters, but in Octave, it can only accept 3 parameters.

OK.

I'd consider a patch.
