creating a debugger is not that difficult, evaluating (pascal)

And even then evaluating properties is impossible.
Well, doesn't FPC evaluates expressions - so why can't a debugger? Also,
couldn't Michael new Expression Parser help here?
As for the properties issue. That's a personal preference of the 'core
team' as far as I know. Delphi and Kylix supports debugging Properties
(even with the "possible" data changing issue) - yet I haven't seen a
single posting of a Delphi developer complaining about that possible data
change issue. The pros far outweigh the cons.
Can you explain this ? As far as I know, there no member of the core team
that objects to having properties inspectable in the debugger ?
Michael.
