Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] How can I get emacs to display a stop-sign icon when I set a breakpoint?

[Dan B. <db...@gm...>]

I was thinking that as long as you only set breakpoints from within
emacs, you wouldn't need to query matlab, and that would make things
simpler. That thread mentions a couple pages of code, which doesn't
sound too bad too me ... but that doesn't mean I'm volunteering to
write said code ;-)

But I've never done any real emacs lisp programming, so maybe writing
something to hook into GUD would be a good first project. I will email
the list if I come up with anything.

Thanks for the replies!
