There has been some flaky network connectivity to the Mercurial repository in the last 24 hours.  I think you might want to try again, or maybe wait a few hours and try again.

If it hasn't resolved by tomorrow then file a bug report about it.

Ah, I see (I oversight the version numbers below).

I cloned the development repository following the instructions here and I got an `abort` message:


$ hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave
...
cloning subrepo gnulib from http://hg.octave.org/gnulib
...
adding file changes
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: stream ended unexpectedly (got 0 bytes, expected 4) (in subrepo gnulib)


Should I file a new bug?

Yes, we know the bug existed through 4.2.1 into the development version of 4.3.0+.  Somewhere on the development branch it has since been fixed and 4.3.0+ no longer has any problem.

I could reproduce the issue with Octave 4.2.1:


$ cat foo.m
a = 5
exit



$ octave -f foo.m
a =  5
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'octave::exit_exception'
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete
octave exited with signal 6

It's not clear which changeset fixed the issue.  My best suggestion is to use 'hg bisect' to locate the cset and post the cset ID on this bug report.

Since it is marked as "Fixed", what is the changeset fixing the issue so the packagers could backport it? I've tried searching around the cloned repo and didn't find anything.

I confirm it is fixed now (I ran into the same problem in bug #49646). Thanks.

This appears to have been fixed recently.  Try something on the dev branch >= to 23127:5a91168a30be.

4.3.0+ is also affected.

Release => dev

Confirmed.  Moving Release number to 4.2.0 rather than release candidate.

The bug is more general than this and occurs when foo.m contains the `exit` command and is not in debug mode.

So, if foo.m contains:
a = 5
exit

Octave 4.2.0-rc2 ends with the error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'octave::exit_exception'
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete
Aborted

This was not the case for Octave 4.0.3.

(file #38760)

If a script which enters debugging mode is called via cli argument and then "exit" is called while in debugging mode, 'octave::exit_exception' is thrown


$ octave -f foo.m
a =  5
stopped in /home/andy/temp/exit_exception/foo.m at line 2
2: keyboard
debug> exit
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'octave::exit_exception'
panic: Abgebrochen -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
save to 'octave-workspace' complete
octave exited with signal 6


I know the "right" way to enter in this case would be "dbexit" which works.
