[Matlab-emacs-discuss] debugging intro?

[Van Z. J. <jr...@mi...>]

I’m looking for a way to use standard Emacs GUD debugging commands (n, c, r,
etc.) for Matlab debugging.  

I’ve downloaded and installed matlab.el.  I see the default customization
uses GUD mode for Matlab shell mode.  Executing a function opens a buffer on
the source with the current location marked with an arrow.  

However, the GUD commands (in either buffer) don’t work.  I still have to
use the verbose Matlab style debugging commands (though alt-P helps).

In matlab.el I see some GUD key assignments:

                (gud-def gud-break  "dbstop at %l in %f"  "\C-b" "Set
breakpoint at current line.")
                …

However, they don’t seem to work in either matlab-mode or matlab-shell.
(They just move point.)

The GUD code may have suffered bit-rot (e.g. hasn't kept up with Emacs), but
it's more likely I'm doing something wrong.

Is there introductory documentation somewhere?  I’d expect it in the CSV
server, or at least a link in the FAQ, but I don’t see anything beyond "GUD
support for debugging programs files".

Otherwise, if "It's working for you", could someone start a debugging
session, execute a few commands, run "M-x view-lossage" and post the result?
:-)

I'm using these versions:
   matlab.el version 3.3.1
   Matlab 7.7.0.471 (R2008b)
   Emacs 22.2.1
   Linux 2.6.32
