Question

I have a habit of beginning all my MATLAB scripts with clear all; close all; clc. While it has been a very useful line, as soon as it executes, it wipes out all my breakpoints. Is there a simple way to avoid that?

Answer 1

I have solved this issue by creating a script that saves and reloads breakpoints. For convenience, you can even put it into a shortcut.

%# store breakpoints
tmp = dbstatus;
save('tmp.mat','tmp')

%# clear all
close all
clear classes %# clears even more than clear all
clc

%# reload breakpoints
load('tmp.mat')
dbstop(tmp)

%# clean up
clear tmp
delete('tmp.mat')
