## @cindex warning ids
##
## @table @code
## @item Octave:abbreviated-property-match
## If the @code{Octave:abbreviated-property-match} warning is enabled, a
## warning is printed if a non-exact or ambiguous match is being used for a
## operation specifying an object property.  For example, for a graphics
## object, @var{fig}, with the property @qcode{'displayname'},
## @code{get (@var{fig}, 'dis')} elicits a warning if the
## @code{Octave:abbreviated-property-match} warning is enabled.
## By default, the @code{Octave:abbreviated-property-match} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:addpath-pkg
## If the @code{Octave:addpath-pkg} warning is enabled,
## Octave will warn when a package directory (i.e., +package_name) is added
## to the @code{path}.  Typically, only the parent directory which contains the
## package directory should be added to the load path.
## By default, the @code{Octave:addpath-pkg} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:array-as-logical
## If the @code{Octave:array-as-logical} warning is enabled,
## Octave will warn when an array of size greater than 1x1 is used
## as a truth value in an if, while, or until statement.
## By default, the @code{Octave:array-as-logical} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:array-to-scalar
## If the @code{Octave:array-to-scalar} warning is enabled, Octave will
## warn when an implicit conversion from an array to a scalar value is
## attempted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:array-to-scalar} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:array-to-vector
## If the @code{Octave:array-to-vector} warning is enabled, Octave will
## warn when an implicit conversion from an array to a vector value is
## attempted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:array-to-vector} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:assign-as-truth-value
## If the @code{Octave:assign-as-truth-value} warning is
## enabled, a warning is issued for statements like
##
## @example
## @group
## if (s = t)
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## since such statements are not common, and it is likely that the intent
## was to write
##
## @example
## @group
## if (s == t)
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## instead.
##
## There are times when it is useful to write code that contains
## assignments within the condition of a @code{while} or @code{if}
## statement.  For example, statements like
##
## @example
## @group
## while (c = getc ())
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## are common in C programming.
##
## It is possible to avoid all warnings about such statements by
## disabling the @code{Octave:assign-as-truth-value} warning,
## but that may also let real errors like
##
## @example
## @group
## if (x = 1)  # intended to test (x == 1)!
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## slip by.
##
## In such cases, it is possible suppress errors for specific statements by
## writing them with an extra set of parentheses.  For example, writing the
## previous example as
##
## @example
## @group
## while ((c = getc ()))
##   @dots{}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## will prevent the warning from being printed for this statement, while
## allowing Octave to warn about other assignments used in conditional
## contexts.
##
## By default, the @code{Octave:assign-as-truth-value} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:autoload-relative-file-name
## If the @code{Octave:autoload-relative-file-name} is enabled,
## Octave will warn when parsing autoload() function calls with relative
## paths to function files.  This usually happens when using autoload()
## calls in PKG_ADD files, when the PKG_ADD file is not in the same
## directory as the .oct file referred to by the autoload() command.
## By default, the @code{Octave:autoload-relative-file-name} warning is
## enabled.
##
## @item Octave:charmat-truncated
## If the @code{Octave:charmat-truncated} warning is enabled, a warning is
## printed when a character matrix with multiple rows is converted to a string.
## In this case, the Octave interpreter keeps only the first row and discards
## the others.
## By default, the @code{Octave:charmat-truncated} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:classdef-to-struct
## If the @code{Octave:classdef-to-struct} warning is enabled, a warning
## is issued when a classdef object is forcibly converted into a struct with
## @code{struct (@var{CLASSDEF_OBJ})}.  Conversion removes the access
## restrictions from the object and makes private and protected properties
## visible.
## By default, the @code{Octave:classdef-to-struct} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:colon-complex-argument
## If the @code{Octave:colon-complex-argument} warning is enabled, a warning
## is issued when one of the three arguments to the colon operator (base,
## increment, limit) is a complex value.  For example, @code{1:3*i} will
## cause a warning to be emitted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:colon-complex-argument} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:colon-nonscalar-argument
## If the @code{Octave:colon-nonscalar-argument} warning is enabled, a warning
## is issued when one of the three arguments to the colon operator (base,
## increment, limit) is not a scalar.  For example, @code{1:[3, 5]} will
## cause a warning to be emitted.
## By default, the @code{Octave:colon-nonscalar-argument} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:data-file-in-path
## If the @code{Octave:data-file-in-path} warning is enabled, a warning is
## issued when Octave does not find the target of a file operation such as
## @code{load} or @code{fopen} directly, but is able to locate the file in
## Octave's search @code{path} for files.  The warning could indicate that a
## different file target than the programmer intended is being used.
## By default, the @code{Octave:data-file-in-path} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:datevec:date-format-spec
## If the @code{Octave:datevec:date-format-spec} warning is enabled, a warning
## is printed if the date format specification contains questionable date or
## time specifiers.  Typical bad patterns are using uppercase date specifiers
## or lowercase time specifiers.
## By default, the @code{Octave:datevec:date-format-spec} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:deprecated-function
## If the @code{Octave:deprecated-function} warning is enabled, a

## warning is issued when an obsolete option or input to a function is used.
## By default, the @code{Octave:deprecated-option} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:deprecated-property
## If the @code{Octave:deprecated-property} warning is enabled, a
## warning is issued when Octave encounters a graphics property that
## is obsolete and scheduled for removal from Octave.
## By default, the @code{Octave:deprecated-property} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:eigs:UnconvergedEigenvalues
## If the @code{Octave:eigs:UnconvergedEigenvalues} warning is enabled then
## the eigs function will issue a warning if the number of calculated
## eigenvalues is less than the number of requested eigenvalues.
## By default, the @code{Octave:eigs:UnconvergedEigenvalues} warning is
## enabled.
##
## @item Octave:empty-index
## If the @code{Octave:empty-index} warning is enabled then Octave will emit a
## warning whenever indexing operators are used without an index, for example
## @code{@var{x}()}.
## By default, the @code{Octave:empty-index} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:erase:chararray
## If the @code{Octave:erase:chararray} warning is enabled then the erase

## rather than a string or cell array of strings.
## By default, the @code{Octave:erase:chararray} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:function-name-clash
## If the @code{Octave:function-name-clash} warning is enabled, a
## warning is issued when Octave finds that the name of a function
## defined in a function file differs from the name of the file.  (If
## the names disagree, the name declared inside the file is ignored.)
## By default, the @code{Octave:function-name-clash} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:future-time-stamp
## If the @code{Octave:future-time-stamp} warning is enabled, Octave
## will print a warning if it finds a function file with a time stamp
## that is in the future.
## By default, the @code{Octave:future-time-stamp} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:glyph-render
## If the @code{Octave:glyph-render} warning is enabled, Octave will
## print a warning if the glyph for a character couldn't be rendered with
## the current font.
## By default, the @code{Octave:glyph-render} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:imag-to-real
## If the @code{Octave:imag-to-real} warning is enabled, a warning is
## printed for implicit conversions of complex numbers to real numbers.
## By default, the @code{Octave:imag-to-real} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:infinite-loop
## If the @code{Octave:infinite-loop} warning is enabled, a warning is
## printed when an infinite loop is detected such as @code{for i = 1:Inf} or
## @code{while (1)}.
## By default, the @code{Octave:infinite-loop} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:language-extension

## The @option{--traditional} or @option{--braindead} startup options for
## Octave may also be of use, @pxref{Command Line Options}.
##
## @item Octave:legacy-function
## If the @code{Octave:legacy-function} warning is enabled, a
## warning is issued when Octave encounters a function that @sc{matlab} has
## suggested should be avoided.  The function may become obsolete at some
## point in the future and removed, in which case the warning will change to
## @code{Octave:deprecated-function}, and the function will continue to exist
## for two further versions of Octave before being removed.
## By default, the @code{Octave:legacy-function} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:logical-conversion
## If the @code{Octave:logical-conversion} warning is enabled, a warning is
## printed if an implicit conversion of an array from numerical to boolean
## occurs and any of the elements in the array are not equal to zero or one.
## By default, the @code{Octave:logical-conversion} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:lu:sparse_input
## If the @code{Octave:lu:sparse_input} warning is enabled, Octave
## will warn when the lu function is called with a sparse input and less than
## four output arguments.  In this case, sparsity-preserving column
## permutations are not performed and the result may be inaccurate.
## By default, the @code{Octave:lu:sparse_input} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:missing-glyph
## If the @code{Octave:glyph-render} warning is enabled, Octave will

## @code{Octave:singular-matrix} warnings are enabled.
##
## @item Octave:neg-dim-as-zero
## If the @code{Octave:neg-dim-as-zero} warning is enabled, print a warning
## for expressions like
##
## @example
## eye (-1)
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## By default, the @code{Octave:neg-dim-as-zero} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:noninteger-range-as-index
## If the @code{Octave:noninteger-range-as-index} warning is enabled, a warning
## is printed if an array is indexed with a range that contains non-integer
## values.  For example,
##
## @example
## @group
## a = [1 2 3 4 5];
## b = 2.2:4.2

##
## @item Octave:possible-matlab-short-circuit-operator
## If the @code{Octave:possible-matlab-short-circuit-operator} warning
## is enabled, Octave will warn about using the not short circuiting
## operators @code{&} and @code{|} inside @code{if} or @code{while}
## conditions.  They normally never short circuit, but they do short
## circuit when used in a condition.
## By default, the @code{Octave:possible-matlab-short-circuit-operator} warning
## is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:pow2:imaginary-ignored
## If the @code{Octave:pow2:imaginary-ignored} warning is enabled, a warning is

## slashes.
## By default, the @code{Octave:recursive-path-search} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:remove-init-dir
## The @code{path} function changes the search path that Octave uses
## to find functions.  It is possible to set the path to a value which
## excludes Octave's own built-in functions.  If the
## @code{Octave:remove-init-dir} warning is enabled then Octave will warn
## when the @code{path} function has been used in a way that may render
## Octave unworkable.
## By default, the @code{Octave:remove-init-dir} warning is enabled.
##
## @item Octave:reload-forces-clear
## If several functions have been loaded from the same file, Octave must
## clear all the functions before any one of them can be reloaded.  If

##
## @item Octave:str-to-num
## If the @code{Octave:str-to-num} warning is enabled, a warning is printed
## for implicit conversions of strings to their numeric UTF-8 encoded byte
## sequences.  For example,
##
## @example
## @group
## "abc" + 0
## @result{} 97 98 99
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## elicits a warning if the @code{Octave:str-to-num} warning is enabled.
## By default, the @code{Octave:str-to-num} warning is disabled.
##
## @item Octave:LaTeX:internal-error
## If the @code{Octave:LaTeX:internal-error} warning is enabled, a warning is
