Closing as fixed.  If there are other problems we can handle them in a separate report.

I pushed the following changeset:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/8408acb7ca4f

It seems to work for me now.

Yeah, I definitely broke it.  I need to think about the proper way for the debugger to move around in the call stack.  I thought it was working, but it is definitely completely broken.

Confirmed.  This is a regression from 5.1.0.  I'm sure it has to do with the extensive rework of the symbol table that jwe has been undertaking.

In debugging mode, dbup and dbdown do not seem to work as expected. In this example:


%%%%%%%% testdb.m %%%%%%%%
function testdb
  val = 0;
  a;
end

function a
  val = 1;
  b;
end

function b
  val = 2;
  keyboard;
end


Octave's behavior is:


octave> testdb
stopped in /opt/octave/testdb.m at line 13
13:   keyboard;
debug> dbstack
stopped in:

  --> testdb>b at line 13 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
      testdb>a at line 8 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
        testdb at line 3 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
debug> dbup
stopped in testdb>b at line 13 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
debug> dbstack
stopped in:

  --> testdb>b at line 13 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
      testdb>a at line 8 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
        testdb at line 3 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
debug> dbup
stopped in testdb>b at line 13 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
debug> dbup
stopped in testdb>b at line 13 [/opt/octave/testdb.m]
debug> dbdown
error: dbdown: invalid stack frame
error: called from
    testdb>b at line 13 column 3
    testdb>a at line 8 column 3
    testdb at line 3 column 3


while in Matlab:


>> testdb
K>> dbstack
> In testdb>b (line 13)
  In testdb>a (line 8)
  In testdb (line 3)
K>> dbup
In workspace belonging to testdb>a (line 8)
K>> dbstack
  In testdb>b (line 13)
> In testdb>a (line 8)
  In testdb (line 3)
K>> dbup
In workspace belonging to testdb (line 3)
K>> dbstack
  In testdb>b (line 13)
  In testdb>a (line 8)
> In testdb (line 3)
K>> dbup
In base workspace.
K>> dbup

K>> dbstack
