[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59306] `memory` function fails for `debug_on_error (true)`

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #59306 (project octave):

This problem was likely introduced in the following changeset:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fd32c1a9b1bd

After this change, entering the debugger on an error happens at the point the
exception is thrown.  That seems like the right thing to do but as this report
shows we could be executing code in an internal C++ try/catch block that would
eventually ignore the exception.

I think the problem will be avoided if we instead handle debug_on_error in the
evaluator at the point where each statement or expression is evaluated.  I'll
try to make that change.
