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

[David C. <dav...@fr...>]

Hera and everyone,

 

If you want to use the GUD interface, then I suggest you fix a few cosmetic
problems in matlab.el and just replace the current code with:

 

      (gud-def gud-finish "dbstep out"          "\C-f" "Finish executing
current function.")

      (gud-def gud-up     "dbup(%p)"            "<"    "Up N stack frames
(numeric arg).")

      (gud-def gud-down   "dbdown(%p)"          ">"    "Down N stack frames
(numeric arg).")

 

If you feel that's useful, you can also add the following lines:

 

      (gud-def gud-stop-subobj  "dbquit"
"\C-k" "Kill execution of the current function") 

      (gud-def gud-until        "dbstop at %l in %f; dbcont; dbclear at %l
in %f" "\C-u" "Run until cursor or first breakpoint")  

 

Hope that helps,

David.

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.
