[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Bug in matlab-shell-run-region

[Cláudia S. <cla...@gm...>]

Hello All,

I just bumped into something looking suspiciously like a bug.

symptoms:
while running matlab-shell-run-region over matlab code including
comments, all the code followed by the commented line is no executed.

causes:
In the definition 'matlab-shell-run-region @ matlab.el, while creating
the 'command binding, there is a 'while loop labeled as ;; HACK FOR
NOSHOW whose action is to replace '\n' by ',' regardless of the present
line being or not a comment.

aesthetic considerations:
I do prefer to see the lines ran in the prompt as they were layered out
by me in the code file. I can understand some people might wish to
completely remove those lines from the matlab-shell buffer; that would
certainly be another effort, different from simply concatenating
everything in a big one-liner...


the cure:
Just comment the hack code...


cheers,
Cláudia
