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

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #46795 (project octave):

@Lachlan:
I'm a bit confused as it's in the GUI that I hit those "%" issues (I rarely if
ever use the CLI these days).

Both in GUI and CLI, using either form you suggested ("doubly quoted" or just
"'%f"') I note other error messages (with the previous all-in-one patch):

>> dbstop ("in", "strread.m", "at", "209", "if", 'format', '==', '"%f"')
ans =  209
>> strread ( "1 2 3", "%s")
warning: Error evaluating breakpoint condition:
    octave_base_value::bool_value(): wrong type argument 'bool matrix'
stopped in
C:\Programs\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+_w64VExTS\share\octave-4.1.0+\m\io\strread.m
at line 209
209:   if (strcmp (typeinfo (format), "sq_string"))
debug> dbcont
ans =
{
  [1,1] = 1
  [2,1] = 2
  [3,1] = 3
}
>>


Intriguingly, the first time I ran this in the GUI it all worked beautifully
and I didn't see these error messages, they turned up only after I ran it in
the CLI.

I'll see if I can try the new patches this week.
