Hi Orion: Thanks for that encouraging news with regard to good builds of the octave binding of PLplot against Octave-4.0.0. But I have also been concerned about the run-time results as well which you can straightforwardly check there by simply running cmake .... >& cmake.out make test_diff_psc >& test_diff_psc.out in an initially empty build tree. Normally that test shows there are no differences between the octave-generated and C-generated results for all our examples for the Octave-3.x.y case. If running that test there shows the same thing for the Octave-4.0.0 case that is a very strong test of our octave bindings for that case. Regardless of whether you try such a run time check, your build success motivates me to expand the epa_build implementation to see how far I can get with an epa_build of Octave-4.0.0 and patched versions of swig-2 and swig-3. Assuming I can epa_build all of those, then that would allow me to do the above run-time check here for patched versions of both swig-2 and swig-3, and thus help build the case to get your swig patch (or two variants of that if your patch has to be modified for swig-2) into the next official releases of both swig-2 and swig-3.
