New "dispatch" selects template argument from octave-value (Bug #42424, 42425) * find.cc (Ffind): This method now calls dispatch() rather than attempting to handle all matrix types on its own (findTemplated): Changed to a functor to be passed as a template template argument to dispatch() (findInfo): A struct that holds the other arguments to find (n_to_find, direction, nargout) Added unit tests for bugs 42424 and 42425 * (new file) dispatch.h (dispatch): A method for dispatching function calls to the right templated value based on an octave_value argument.
