[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46795] dbstop lacks much Matlab functionality

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #46795 (project octave):

I just tried Lachlan's latest (20160108) (big all in one) patch.

I get:

>> dbstop in strread.m at 209 if (format == " ")
ans =  209
>> dbstop in strread.m at 209 if (format == "%f")
error: unterminated character string constant
>> dbstop in strread.m at 209 if (format == "f")
ans =  209
>> dbstop in strread.m at 209 if (format == '%d')
error: unterminated character string constant


Apparently "%" is offending in some way.

Another observation: I can only enter conditional breakpoints if the condition
is enclosed between parentheses. No big dealbut is this intended?

@Torsten:
As to scrolling: jumping / scrolling the new breakpoint line to the vertical
center of the editor pane doesn't happen anymore when setting breakpoints.
Fine, thanks.
However, the instruction pointer is still fixed at the vertical center. I
mean, that when dbstep-ing through a debugged function using the step button
in the editor menu, the current line is always in the middle. Can that
behavior also be changed, please?
