Details:

consider this script:


function zz
    x = 3;
    zz2
end
function zz2
    y = 4;
end


and execute with this command:


octave --norc --no-init-path --no-init-file --no-site-file -x zz.m


octave-4.2.1 produces:


+ function zz ()
+ x = 3;
+ zz2
+ function zz2 ()
+ y = 4;
+ endfunction
+
+ endfunction


octave-4.3.0+ does not produce any output

If you invoke function zz from a script, say run_zz, with just one line
invoking zz:


zz


then octave-4.3.0+ produces


+ zz
+


It looks like echoing stops in 4.3.0+ when descending into a function.
