Octave has a lisp-like {{Codeline|unwind_protect}} block that allows blocks of code that terminate in an error to ensure that the variables that are touched are restored. You can do something similar with try/catch combined with {{Codeline|rethrow (lasterror ())}} in Matlab, however rethrow and lasterror are only available in Octave 2.9.10 and later. MATLAB 2008a also introduced {{Codeline|OnCleanUp}} that is similar to {{Codeline|unwind_protect}}, except that the object created by this function has to be explicitly cleared in order for the cleanup code to run. | Octave has a lisp-like {{Codeline|unwind_protect}} block that allows blocks of code that terminate in an error to ensure that the variables that are touched are restored.
