[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65610] unable to set breakpoints within set or get functions of classdef classes

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #65610 (group octave):

Thank you for the review. I'm happy I didn't misunderstand the classdef
implementation completely.

I'd need to check that again. But IIRC, a user could try to set a breakpoint
in a line without code (e.g., a line between function definitions of classdef
files). In that case, the `get_method` function is expected to return the
"closest" match. (ISTR that is the first valid one *below* the actually
selected line.)

It might be possible to interrupt that search early (without missing a
"closer" match). We could potentially also check against `beg_pos` instead of
only against `end_pos` and break when the selected line is between those.
I haven't checked whether that would need additional logic for handling
sub-functions that are defined in the body of a classdef method. (Maybe, they
aren't handled correctly right now. Haven't checked.)

But it might be better to do that in follow-up changes if you agree.
