Name

setbpt — set breakpoints

Calling Sequence

setbpt(macroname [,linenumb])

Parameters

macroname

string

linenumb

scalar integer or vector of integers

Description

setbpt interactively inserts a breakpoint in the line number linenumb (default value is 1) of the function macroname

linenumb can be a line or column vector of line numbers, or a single scalar line number.

When reaching the breakpoint, Scilab evaluates the specified line, prints the number of the line and the name of the function. If the function is not compiled (see comp) the line is printed on the screen. Then Scilab goes into a pause mode in which the user can check current values. The pause is exited with resume or abort. Redefining the function does not clear the breakpoints, the user must explicitly delete breakpoints using delbpt. The maximum number of functions with breakpoints enabled must be less than 100 and the maximum number of breakpoints is set to 1000.

Examples

setbpt('foo'),setbpt('foo',10),dispbpt()
delbpt()

setbpt('foo',[1,2,5,6]),dispbpt()
