[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33411] Breakpoints aren't hit with run command

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #33411 (project octave):

Rik, it turns out that the reason  run isdir  didn't return anything is that
run does nothing if its argument is a function not a script.

I've extended the patch to throw an error if the argument to source (used by
run) exists but is not a script.  It still silently returns if the file
doesn't exist, so that we don't get an error about ./.octaverc not existing.

The existing code also has a memory leak where the parse tree of the newly
parsed file is not deleted if it is not a script.  The patch fixes that too.

(My previous post was also too rushed; I thought that the error messages were
for the run case, not for calling isdir directlly.)
