Incomplete nested function and handle to nested function implementation #8

Closed shsajjadi closed 2 years ago

shsajjadi commented 3 years ago

Recently Octave has implemented handle to nested functions. Coder implementation of nested function has some bugs:

Variables in multiple levels of nesting aren't captured correctly.
Handles to nested function doesn't follow the way that currently working in MATLAB and Octave
Anonymous function that calls nested function doesn't work when used out of the scope of the nested functions.
handle to multiple nested functions that capture the same variable should share that variable.

That was my wrong understanding of handle to nested functions. I made an extended changeset through this commit. Moreover the new changeset solves exponentiation code bloat due to increase in nesting level.
