[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45404] Breakpoints cannot be set in classdef methods or +package function files

[John W. Eaton]

Update of bug #45404 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => In Progress

Follow-up Comment #15:

At some point, setting breakpoints for functions in packages seems to have
been fixed.  I'm now able to set breakpoints using


dbstop pkga.pkgb.fcn


After changeset

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/de826e69a5ea

setting breakpoints in classdef methods using dbstop commands like


dbstop in MYCLASS at MYMETHOD


should work.

Some additional changes will be needed to accept filenames in addition to
class names and to support parsing class names or methods names when they are
prefixed by package names and to also allow breakpoints in classdef methods to
be set from inside the GUI editor. But this change is a good start.

See also bug #46451.

Maybe we should close one of these bug reports?  Or maybe it would be best to
close them both and open another one (or more) reports about specific dbstop
syntax that does not work?
