octave: Call Stack

 
 13.5 Call Stack
 ===============
 
 The function being debugged may be the leaf node of a series of function
 calls.  After examining values in the current subroutine it may turn out
 that the problem occurred in earlier pieces of code.  Use ‘dbup’ and
 ‘dbdown’ to move up and down through the series of function calls to
 locate where variables first took on the wrong values.  ‘dbstack’ shows
 the entire series of function calls and at what level debugging is
 currently taking place.
 
  -- : dbstack
  -- : dbstack N
  -- : dbstack -COMPLETENAMES
  -- : [STACK, IDX] = dbstack (...)
      Display or return current debugging function stack information.
 
      With optional argument N, omit the N innermost stack frames.
 
      Although accepted, the argument -COMPLETENAMES is silently ignored.
      Octave always returns absolute filenames.
 
      The arguments N and -COMPLETENAMES can be both specified in any
      order.
 
      The optional return argument STACK is a struct array with the
      following fields:
 
      file
           The name of the m-file where the function code is located.
 
      name
           The name of the function with a breakpoint.
 
      line
           The line number of an active breakpoint.
 
      column
           The column number of the line where the breakpoint begins.
 
      scope
           Undocumented.
 
      context
           Undocumented.
 
      The return argument IDX specifies which element of the STACK struct
      array is currently active.

      XREFdbstatus.
 
  -- : dbup
  -- : dbup N
      In debugging mode, move up the execution stack N frames.
 
      If N is omitted, move up one frame.
 
      See also: dbstack XREFdbstack, dbdown XREFdbdown.
 
  -- : dbdown
  -- : dbdown N
      In debugging mode, move down the execution stack N frames.
 
      If N is omitted, move down one frame.
 
      See also: dbstack XREFdbstack, dbup XREFdbup.
