I am wondering whether we could add a regression test like the following
to data.cc (or wherever):
/*
%!test
%! format short
%! for r = [0, Inf -Inf, NaN]
%! for i = [0, Inf -Inf, NaN]
%! complex (r, i)
%! endfor
%! endfor
*/
Yes, the 'complex (r, i)' would lack the semicolon, just to exercise the
code in pr-output.cc.
