This page is a stub. We should begin documenting what classdef is implemented and what is not.
=== Supported Features ===


==== not supported ====
==== Properties ====


* enumeration
Classdef properties are supported but not all attributes are implemented.


* build-in class as superclass
{| class="wikitable"
** <source lang="octave" enclose="none">classdef nonsense < uint32</source>
|-

|AbortSet

|GetObservable

|NonCopyable

* array of objects. Example:
==== Methods ====
<source lang="octave">
classdef MyClass < handle
end


c = MyClass();
Classdef methods are supported but not all attributes are fully implemented.
cc = [c, c];  % won't work
</source>


For now you can use a cell-array of objects instead:
{| class="wikitable"
<source lang="octave">
|-
cc = {c, c};  % ok
! style="text-align:left;"| Attribute
</source>
! Support
! Notes
|-
|Abstract
|Partial
|See bug report {{bug|51377}}
|-
|Access
|Yes
|
|-
|Hidden
|Yes
|
|-
|Sealed
|Yes
|
|-
|Static
|Yes
|
|}


* [http://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2015a/matlab/matlab_oop/mutable-and-immutable-properties.html Immutable property] set access. Example:
=== Features that are not implemented ===
<source lang="octave">
classdef MyClass < handle
    properties (SetAccess = immutable)
        x
    end
    methods
        function obj = MyClass()
            x = rand();
        end
    end
end
</source>


Use "private" properties as workaround.
==== [https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/enumeration-classes.html enumeration] ====


* Function handles to package methods and static class methods.
* {{bug|44582}} Parse the enumeration section of a classdef definition but nothing is done with it.
For example if we have <code>+mypackage/myfunc.m</code>, creating a function handle as <code>fh = @mypackage.myfunc</code> won't work.
As a workaround, we can create an indirection using an anonymous function <code>fh = @(varargin) mypackage.myfunc(varargin{:})</code>.
Similarly for static class methods where <code>fh = @MyClass.myfunc</code> isn't yet supported.


==== supported ====
==== [https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/learning-to-use-events-and-listeners.html events and listeners] ====
