[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53288] clear all clears breakpoints

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #53288 (project octave):

For code, use verbatim-markup avoid interpretation as rich text:

https://savannah.gnu.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&item_id=125

Confirmed here.  A simpler example is


octave:14> dbstatus
octave:15> dbstop print
ans =  316
octave:16> dbstatus
breakpoint in print at line 316 
octave:17> clear all
octave:18> dbstatus
octave:19>


I suspect it has something to do with the function clearing as described in
the doc:


     The following options are available in both long and short form

     '-all, -a'
          Clear all local and global user-defined variables and all
          functions from the symbol table.


Whatever it means for functions to be cleared from the symbol table might also
be clearing breakpoints associated with those functions.  To illustrate, make
the "clear" more specific:


octave:19> dbstatus
octave:20> dbstop print
ans =  316
octave:21> dbstop plot
ans =  211
octave:22> dbstatus
breakpoint in plot at line 211 
breakpoint in print at line 316 
octave:23> clear print
octave:24> dbstatus
breakpoint in plot at line 211 
octave:25>
