bzip2 missing

Hi

The manual makes a reference to 'bzip2', and the 'bunzip2' also has
'bzip2' as part of its  <at> seealso. However, it seems like I do not have
this function. Why is this?

eomdate?

Hi

'doc/interpreter/system.txi' contains a reference to 'eomdate', but this
function is not available in my installation. Since it seems to be part
of the 'time' package I assume that it has been moved to Octave-Forge.

The attached changeset removes this reference.

 	* interpreter/container.txi (Data Structures): Update examples for

poor line numbering in error messages when using unwind_protect

Hi

Consider the following function (also attached)

  function badlinenumber ()
    unwind_protect
      error ("this raises and error at line 3");
    unwind_protect_cleanup
    end_unwind_protect
  endfunction

When I run it I get the following error message

  error: this raises and error at line 3
  error: called from:
  error:   /home/sh/Skrivebord/badlinenumber.m at line 2, column 3

I would expect the last line to say "line 3, ..." instead of "line
2, ...".

I see something similar with try-catch statements. Consider (also
attached)

  function badlinenumber2 ()
    try
      error ("this raises and error at line 3");
    catch
      disp (lasterror ()(1).stack.line);
    end_try_catch
  endfunction

In the development sources bzip2 is available.

Ahh, I see the issue. 'bzip2' is not listed in the relevant Makefile.in
so it is not installed, which is why I was missing it.

Changeset attached.

Thanks for catching that bug: it is the first that has been found in my contributions to octave.

However, shouldn't it read "bzip.m" instead of just "bzip" in Makefile.in?

About time I guess

Yes! That's the problem with sending patches for trivial bugs -- it's
really easy to 'forget' to test them proper

This is a known problem, caused by the incompatible API changes
between HDF5 1.5 and 1.8. I think there's no need to support both the
APIs, but someone needs to modify the relevant code to adapt to the
1.8 API. So far, there has been no volunteer. Apparently hdf5 is not
much used amongst Octave developers/users.

Could the ./configure test the API and disable building against HDF5 <1.8?

I don't use HDF5 but Octave autodetects it during ./configure and then fails 
during make which is annoying.

BTW, recently I have sent a small testing program QhullCrashTest.c to 
detect crashing Qhull library. Is there an autoconf guru who would add it to 
the configure script?
