[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54600] edit mfile with an error crashes octave

[Torsten]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #54600 (project octave):

Currently, F__which__ only crashes for files with syntax error when called
from the gui thread. The "edit" function uses "exist" and "file_in_path" in
order to find the editable m-file of a function. Therefore, I am currently
looking for the following possible solutions:

* Try to use Fexist together with Ffile_in_loadpath as the "edit" command
does
* Call F__which__ via the octave thread (no crash, only an error message about
the syntax error) and try to pass the results to the gui thread
* Use a try-block
