Workaround to Matlab bug #496201
I have found the following workaround to the bug #496201 (which, as of 2015, has been unfixed for 10 years!).
If your sub-functions don't call other sub-functions, then the call to the first sub-function will publish incorrectly.
Otherwise, the first sub-function that calls other sub-functions will be published incorrectly, but others seem to be publishing in the right order.
Workaround: include a dummy sub-function that calls my sub-function, and publish it before calls to the sub-functions that I want to publish.
Example 1: the following publishes incorrectly:
function matlab_bug()
%%The answer to everything is...
my_subfunction();
end
function my_subfunction()
disp('42');
end
..but the following will publish alright:
function matlab_bug()
workaround()
%%The answer to everything is...
my_subfunction();
end
function workaround()
end
function my_subfunction()
disp('42');
end
Example 2: the following code publishes incorrectly:
%%Main
function matlab_bug()
not_a_workaround()
%%The answer to everything is...
my_subfunction();
end
%%Functions
function [val]=my_mult(a, b)
val = a * b;
end
%%Tests
function not_a_workaround()
end
function my_subfunction()
a = my_mult(7,6);
disp(a);
end
...but the following will publish as intended:
%%Main
function matlab_bug()
workaround()
%%The answer to everything is...
my_subfunction();
end
%%Functions
function [val]=my_mult(a, b)
val = a * b;
end
%%Tests
function workaround()
my_mult(0, 0);
end
function my_subfunction()
a = my_mult(7,6);
disp(a);
end
Maybe this won'r work for all cases, but, I hope, it will help someone.
