2dbstop
Purpose Set breakpoints in M-file function
Graphical
Interface
dbstop
As an alternative to the dbstop function, you can use the Breakpoints menu
or the breakpoint alley in the Editor/Debugger.
Syntax dbstop in mfile
dbstop in mfile at lineno
dbstop in mfile at subfun
dbstop if error
dbstop if all error
dbstop if warning
dbstop if naninf
dbstop if infnan
Description dbstop in mfile temporarily stops execution of mfile when you run it, at the
first executable line, putting MATLAB in debug mode. mfile must be in a
directory that is on the search path or in the current directory. If you have
graphical debugging enabled, the MATLAB Debugger opens with a breakpoint
at the first executable line of mfile. You can then use the debugging utilities,
review the workspace, or issue any valid MATLAB function. Use dbcont or
dbstep to resume execution of mfile. Use dbquit to exit from the Debugger.
dbstop in mfile at lineno temporarily stops execution of mfile when you
run it, just prior to execution of the line whose number is lineno, putting
MATLAB in debug mode. mfile must be in a directory that is on the search
path or in the current directory. If you have graphical debugging enabled, the
MATLAB Debugger opens mfile with a breakpoint at line lineno. If that line
is not executable, execution stops and the breakpoint is set at the next
executable line following lineno. When execution stops, you can use the
debugging utilities, review the workspace, or issue any valid MATLAB
function. Use dbcont or dbstep to resume execution of mfile. Use dbquit to
exit from the Debugger.
dbstop in mfile at subfun temporarily stops execution of mfile when you
run it, just prior to execution of the subfunction subfun, putting MATLAB in
debug mode. mfile must be in a directory that is on the search path or in the
current directory. If you have graphical debugging enabled, the MATLAB
Debugger opens mfile with a breakpoint at the subfunction specified by
