Is there a gud-like octave debugging mode in Emacs?


I know there are commands like dbstop and dbstep etc. to debug a Octave scripts. I want to find a mode like gud in Emacs for Octave but failed. Is there one mode like this? Or how can I implement one?


Solution

  • AFAIK, there is no GUD-like for Octave. Besides, the Emacs mode for Octave is obsolete. There is a dev branch in Octave which aims to create a GUI for Octave based on Qt. I have no idea when the GUI will be mature enough. R has a very quite GUI frontend R-studio. I just hope Octave community will have the similar nice counterpart.
