Details:

I recently discovered the existence of debug_on_interrupt which I wanted to
use as a way to interrupt temporarily a calculation and inspect variables
before proceeding.

Unfortunately I was not able to have it work: whether debug_on_interrupt is
true or false, Ctrl+C interrupts the script and returns to the prompt. For
example I saved the following function in a file toto.m (which attached to
this report), and then ran it but Ctrl+C interrupts it rather than leading to
debug prompt.


function retval = toto (input1, input2)
  debug_on_interrupt (true, "local");
  while (true)
    a = 2;
  endwhile
endfunction
