Debugging

rline = dbstop (func line)

Loadable Function

Set a breakpoint in a function func String representing the function name. When already in debug mode this should be left out and only the line should be given. line Line you would like the breakpoint to be set on The rline returned is the real line that the breakpoint was set at.

dbclear (func line)

Loadable Function

Delete a breakpoint in a function func String representing the function name. When already in debug mode this should be left out and only the line should be given. line Line where you would like to remove the the breakpoint No checking is done to make sure that the line you requested is really a breakpoint. If you get the wrong line nothing will happen.

lst = dbstatus ([func])

Loadable Function

Return a vector containing the lines on which a function has breakpoints set. func String representing the function name. When already in debug mode this should be left out.

dbwhere ()

Loadable Function

Show where we are in the code

dbtype ()

Loadable Function

List script file with line numbers.

debug_on_interrupt

Built-in Variable

If debug_on_interrupt is nonzero Octave will try to enter debugging mode when it receives an interrupt signal (typically generated with C-c). If a second interrupt signal is received before reaching the debugging mode a normal interrupt will occur. The default value is 0.

debug_on_warning

Built-in Variable

If the value of debug_on_warning is nonzero Octave will try to enter the debugger when a warning is encountered. The default value is 0.

debug_on_error

Built-in Variable

If the value of debug_on_error is nonzero Octave will try to enter the debugger when an error is encountered. This will also inhibit printing of the normal traceback message (you will only see the top-level error message). The default value is 0.
