[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65277] run_test_suite in Octave 9.0.90 throws "error: get_breakpoint_list: . .."

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug#65277 (group octave):

I tried building dc69e574b97a with Qt6 and running with
--experimental-terminal-widget and it still hangs for me so I don't think it
is the terminal widget that is causing the trouble.  I see it taking 58
seconds to execute the tests in dirfns.cc-tst.  It continues, but has more
problems later.  98 seconds in dlmread.cc-tst and 62 seconds in dot.cc-tst. 
At first I thought maybe it was filesystem related, but the doc.c-tst file
doesn't seem to do anything with functions that look at the filesystem.  And
running "test dot.cc-tst" by itself works fine.

I also tried going back to the point where we first made it possible to build
with Qt6.  I wasn't sure what revision to use as we had to fix a lot of things
to get Octave to build with Qt6.  I had some trouble with the very early
revisions that attempted to support Qt6 but building de6e2f546970 worked for
me and it appears to have the same trouble executing __run_test_suite__.  So
debugging this may take some work as we don't have an obvious small change
that caused the problem.

The first step might be to try to find out what is actually being executed
while Octave is taking a long time to execute a particular test.  I'll see if
I can find something.
