[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#500252: octave-nan: std should accept an empty second arg

[Francesco Potorti`]

Package: octave-nan
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: normal

The following patch is needed to respect the syntax of Octave 3.0 std:

diff -pu /usr/share/octave/packages/nan-1.0.6/std.m\~ /usr/share/octave/packages/nan-1.0.6/std.m
--- /usr/share/octave/packages/nan-1.0.6/std.m~	2008-05-16 16:09:51.000000000 +0200
+++ /usr/share/octave/packages/nan-1.0.6/std.m	2008-09-26 17:12:36.000000000 +0200
@@ -59,7 +59,7 @@ end;
 
 [y,n] = sumskipnan(center(x,DIM).^2,DIM);
 
-if nargin<2,
+if (nargin<2 || isempty(opt)),
         opt = 0;
 end;
 

Without it, one gets this when nan is loaded:

octave3.1> pkg load nan
octave3.1> std ([1;2], [])
ans =  NaN
octave3.1> statistics ([1;2])
ans =

   1.00000
