# HG changeset patch # User Iain Murray # Date 1325526592 18000 # Node ID 20cb178716eebe50713d11d40436bd0adfc6071c # Parent 6a1fe83fe1296d19767c54fdd9114a7a3e29a6f0 Make nargin and nargout behave more like Matlab's (Bug #32700) * ov-usr-fcn.cc: Include "ov-fcn-handle.h". (Fnargout, Fnargin) nargout can be given a function handle as well as a string. Allow nargout(fcn) works in the top level. Make inline functions always return 1. Make anonymous functions always return -1. Make functions with varargout optionally preceded by named outputs return -(length_output_list_including_the_varargout). diff -r 6a1fe83fe129 -r 20cb178716ee src/ov-usr-fcn.cc --- a/src/ov-usr-fcn.cc Sat Feb 26 18:15:48 2011 -0500 +++ b/src/ov-usr-fcn.cc Mon Jan 02 12:49:52 2012 -0500 @@ -48,6 +48,7 @@ #include "utils.h" #include "parse.h" #include "variables.h" +#include "ov-fcn-handle.h" // Whether to optimize subsasgn method calls. static bool Voptimize_subsasgn_calls = true; @@ -601,12 +602,15 @@ DEFUN (nargin, args, , "-*- texinfo -*-\n\ @deftypefn {Built-in Function} {} nargin ()\n\ -@deftypefnx {Built-in Function} {} nargin (@var{fcn_name})\n\ +@deftypefnx {Built-in Function} {} nargin (@var{fcn})\n\ Within a function, return the number of arguments passed to the function.\n\ At the top level, return the number of command line arguments passed to\n\ -Octave.
