Examples

//function to overload cosine on string
function v=%c_cos(val)
    printf("val : %s\n", val);
    v = cos(evstr(val));
endfunction

//caller
function a=test_debug()
    b = cos("%pi");
    a = b * 3;
endfunction

debug

exec test_debug

continue
quit

function v=compute(val)
    v = 1;
    for i=1:val
        v = v * i;
    end
endfunction

debug
