Re: how do I start octave under gdb?

[roumbaba]

Ok so I modified the script and still I get the same errors when GDB is
loading up. 
So I tried another exectutable which I hadn't seen before: gdb
/Applications/Octave.app/Contents/MacOS/Octave.app

gdb launches, loads all the libraries:

Starting program: /Applications/Octave.app/Contents/MacOS/Octave.app 
Reading symbols for shared libraries
................................................................... done
Reading symbols for shared libraries . done
Reading symbols for shared libraries . done
Reading symbols for shared libraries .. done
Reading symbols for shared libraries . done

BUT then it outputs error messages like these:

2009-05-29 11:29:35.156 osascript[17464] *** _NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object
0x4300a0 of class NSPathStore2 autoreleased with no pool in place - just
leaking

Program exited normally.

and gdb quits after opening a second shell window with octave running in it.
But since gdb is no longer running it's not use.

I think I am getting closer but not quite. 
Anyone has experience debuging .mex .oct with gdb?

Thanks

I don't know precisely what is in the script, but I expect that it
sets up some environment variables for you before it runs Octave.  Why
not make a copy of the script and edit it so that the script includes
the call to gdb to start Octave, then use the modified script when you
want to start a debugging session?
