[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52750] Ctl-C stops debugging when used only to stop long output when more off

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #52750 (project octave):

This seems real.  The patch for this was in pt-eval.cc and in the function
visit_statement. 


        catch (const octave::interrupt_exception&)
          {
            // If we are debugging, then continue with next statement.
            // Otherwise, jump out of here.

            if (debug_mode)
              interpreter::recover_from_exception ();
            else
              throw;
          }


But the dbquit function makes use of exceptions to return to the prompt.


{
  if (! Vdebugging)
    error ("dbquit: can only be called in debug mode");

  if (args.length () != 0)
    print_usage ();

  Vdebugging = false;

  octave::tree_evaluator::reset_debug_state ();

  octave_throw_interrupt_exception ();

  return ovl ();
}


Maybe reset_debug_state isn't resetting the state?
