Update FYI: After all, it seems like I can make octave debug prompt appear and work if I set dbstop (or keyboard) and then run e.g. octave> sweuromodel (i..e as..m file) instead (i.e. and after) octave> dynare sweuromodel.mod noclearall cygwin it looks like running dynare "upsets" switch to octave debug mode (i.e. same problem occur when running via dynare even if I do not use use_dll option) Best George On 21/07/2010 09:47, George Perendia wrote:

HI Sebastien

Thanks for all your answers

Problem is however that each described method of entering debug mode results in my prompt and cygwin window freezing and the only thing I can do is C-c to exit the Dynare application. I can however make the dll print matrices to cout under octave and I can put pause and other suitable commands in .m files to pause or control the execution so that helps but slows down my debugging.

Another issue is that when octave hits dbstop: the prompt and keyboard freeze at the first line of the file dbstop is set in without promptimg "debug>" mode (and not at the line I specified using dbstop<fname>,<lineno>.:

I don’t have much experience with debugging under Octave, and I don’t know if it is supposed to behave like MATLAB. I can only point you to the part of Octave manual which deals with debugging :
