Code Trace for MATLAB is a collection of functions for creating and manipulating code traces, which can be used to help understand what is happening in code as it executes. A code trace prints a brief note to the MATLAB Command Window whenever a specific line of code is executed. A code trace might just print the function name and line number, or it might also print a label and the value of variable or expression.

Basic Usage

Call addCodeTrace with the name of a MATLAB function or script file and the line number that you want to trace:

addCodeTrace("myfunc",10)

Then, call your function as your normally would:

out = myfunc(input1,input2);

See the script GettingStarted.mlx, in the doc folder, for examples.

Installation

Code Trace for MATLAB requires MATLAB release R2019b or newer.
