Details:

Hi,

I noticed a regression in Octave 6 with respect to dbstack(N).

Suppose I have the following two files:

foo.m:

function foo
  bar
end


bar.m:

function bar
  size(dbstack(1), 1)
end


Under Octave 6, calling foo will display:

ans = 2


It turns out that the innermost frame has not been omitted.

While under Octave 5 (and MATLAB), one gets the correct answer:

ans = 1
