bug-octave at che dot utexas dot edu:

In the octave-0.79 release, the file Matrix.h in the liboctave directory
contains some illegal C++ code. To wit:

  On line 2512 
  SCHUR& operator = (const SCHUR& a, const char *ord);   

  According to the Annotated C++ Reference Manual, an overloaded 
  assignment operator is defined as:

  X& X::operator=(const X& from)
  {
    //copy members of X
  }   

This error is also on lines 2537, 2568, and 2592. It should
also be noted that gcc version 2.5.7 with libg++ version 2.5.2
did not compile this code.
