Re: gdb octave

[Albert F. Niessner]

Sure can. I have used gdb extensively. It is a bit tricky to get warmed
up though. First, make sure octave was compiled with the -g switch. Then
you have to load the DLD_FUN you want to debug. I normally use an input
variable that trips no action but a return in there for this. There is
probably a better way to load the function, but I do not know it. Once
loaded, you can set you breakpoints in DLD_FUN as you normally would.
Also make sure that the DLD_FUN was compiled with a -g -O0. Otherwise
the debugger has a hard time knowing where it really is.
