Follow-up Comment #5:
I like the idea of indicating how many levels deep one is in the debug
hierarchy. In normal debug circumstances I understood how I got from "debug>"
to "[1]debug>" to "[2]debug>".
It is just confusing, to me, that I'm in a "keyboard>" instance of debugging,
then by typing 'qqq' I reach "[1]debug>", but if I check with dbstack, it
still tells me that I am at the same "keyboard>" instance. Then when I do
"dbnext", I don't return to the "keyboard>" instance, but return to a "debug>"
instance, unless I execute "dbquit", in which case I do go back to a
"keyboard>" prompt.
There are bigger issues to tackle and I don't mind leaving this one alone, but
the fact that there are so many paths through the code seems unideal. In
another unexpectedness, entering 'qqq' gets you to "[1]debug>" but typing
another error such as 'zzz' does not take you to "[2]debug>" which is what I
would now expect. Is the interpreter somehow not incrementing the debug stack
when the prompt is the same?
I attached tst_dbp2.m which is the file I am now using for testing which has
debug_on_error embedded in it.
(file #47252)
