[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57121] [GUI] debug pointer position off by one line

[Rik]

Update of bug #57121 (project octave):

                  Status:               Need Info => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #5:

Also confirmed.  The simplest test is


dbstop pkg 459
ans = 460


The code from pkg.m is


        else
459 ->    looks_like_pkg_name = regexp (file, '^[\w-]+$');
          if (looks_like_pkg_name)
            error (["pkg: file not found: %s.\n" ...
                    "This looks like an Octave Forge package name." ...
                    "  Did you mean:\n" ...
                    "       pkg install -forge %s"], ...
                   file, file);
          else
            error ("pkg: file not found: %s", file);
          endif
        endif


I added a new line 460 with


disp ('Hello World');


but this has no effect.

I also found that setting a breakpoint at line 458 (else) or line 459 (regexp)
both result in line 460 as the selected line.

Finally, reversing the lines so it reads


        else
459 ->    disp ('Hello World');
looks_like_pkg_name = regexp (file, '^[\w-]+$');


also has the same issue.

It would seem that there is something wrong with the line number counting of
the interpreter immediately following an else keyword.
