[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55178] Improved debug on error behaviour inside octave core functions

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #55178 (project octave):

Imho, it would be confusing if the `error` function would behave differently
depending of in which function it is called. At the moment its behavior is
pretty clear and makes sense to me: The error stack is from where the `error`
function is called.

Maybe some kind of code analysis tool could point to a probable cause of an
error. I guess that is what you are interested in? If you'd like to implement
a (static) code analyzer for Octave, please give it a try.

Some time ago, someone mentioned adding a GUI element that would allow an easy
traversal of the error stack. Maybe that would somewhat alleviate this issue.
