[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46795] dbstop lacks much Matlab functionality

[Lachlan Andrew]

Follow-up Comment #72, bug #46795 (project octave):

Philip, that is puzzling.  The LMB seems to work fine under Linux, as long as
my changes aren't there.  (I didn't back out the changes explicitly, but there
is a particular change that I made that causes the crash, and if I undo that
part, it handles the LMB.)

Doing a MXE build is still daunting for me, but I'll try to summon the courage
soon :)


Torsten, we can't use Feval because, as you say, it tries to use the undefined
variables.  However, we could directly call the code that Fdbstop uses for
validation.  (We could even just call a dummy Fdbstop with the old line
numbers, and if the line numbers change we can clear the old one and put in a
new one.  However, that sounds messy.)  If you think that sounds OK, I'll
prepare a patch for it.
