Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Debugging intro?

I am happy it works for you. Still, it doesn't work perfectly for me.

I can do the commands dbstop, dbstep etc. in the matlab-shell but there is nothing showing in any other window.  However if I do M-g n (matlab-shell-last-error) then a buffer is show with the mark on the relevant linie.  If I do dbstep nothing happens before I do M-g n again.

Still I think it would be nice if there were a short up to date introduction to using matlab though emacs.

Hi Uwe and Torben,

Thank you so much for your replies!! It is working with me now! And I also found there is another way of debugging using GUD(Grand Unified Debugger), so we have all kinds of shortcuts for continue, step and next etc. you could check out the info page by M-x gud-goto-info.

Thank you guys again!!

Cheers,
Hera

Maybe I miss something elementary. I do the following.
(Using Xemacs 21.5.32 (GNU emacs is a little nicer with
debugging but anyhow)
In my matlab file, say test.m I start the matlab shell

Then I do in the shell:
>> dbstop test
dbstop test
>> test
test
3   clear all
K>> dbstep
dbstep
4   A=[0 1 -1;-3 4 -1;-1 1 2]
K>> dbquit
dbquit
>>
So the window is split and  repeating dbstep I see an arrow
advancing in the m file and the result in the shell.

It is not as nice as the emacs   edebug function for lisp,
but it is good enough.
