MATLAB: Disable cannot enable breakpoint(s) message

breakpoint warning

Is it possible to disable the cannot enable breakpoint(s) message. This message shows up when saving a file that currently has an error and a breakpoint. Instead of the breakpoint simply not being enabled, a popup box tells me that an error is present and thus the breakpoint cannot be enabled.

I seem to remember possibly being able to ignore this in previous versions. Current version: 2011a

You did used to be able to breakpoint a file that had syntax errors. But after they implemented this warning, I don't remember being able to ignore it.

I looked around the Preferences and did not see a way to do this.

MATLAB: Is there a UI interface in MATLAB which could disable all breakpoints set in a MATLAB File in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)

The ability to disable all breakpoints in a MATLAB File using some UI interface is not available in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b).

However you could use the following workaround:

To disable all the break points in an MATLAB File, you need to set the expression property of the breakpoints on all lines to 'false'. The following code disables all the breakpoints in a MATLAB File.

s = dbstatus
s.expression(:) = {'false'}
dbstop(s)

The structure 's' contains the line numbers of all the breakpoints, with the corresponding expression values of these break points. You can add this as a shortcut to the MATLAB desktop.

MATLAB: Breakpoints

Assuming your breakpoints are sorted (I'll call them breakpoints), you could do something like this:

x = 0.55;
find(breakpoints<x,1,'last')
