[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56270] Octave 5.1.0 is freeze-y/hang-y on macOS

[Carlo de Falco]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #56270 (project octave):

If all that is needed is to find what part of the code the application is
stuck in when freezing, it should be easy to 
do using apple's "instruments" debugger : 

https://help.apple.com/instruments/mac/current/#/dev7b09c84f5

for example attaching a "profiler" instrument to a running instance of Octave
then getting a stack trace when it freezes.

unfortunately I cannot help with this myself as I currrently build only
without the GUI.

running Octave under an interactive debugger such as gdb or lldb on the other
hand is a bit challenging AFAIK
