Found the answer
I though you'd noticed this earlier. I also wrote it in one of the mails
last week?
Seems I have missed that, sorry.
Anyway, that is good news...
But it seems that now, even in dwarf-3 objects are treated as pointer
again? (I can happily live with that. I just want to know)
Yes, that was the (final?) conclusion from the discussion with you and
Jonas. It is also why I said you were too fast with your tests, because
I still had to change this.
That is also good news.
Especially since I found a better way to distinguish between
var
a: TObject;
b: ^TObject;
in order to display the correct data in the IDE.
And the new way (once implemented) will also work if the debug info is
mixed dwarf/stabs
ptype a^
ptype b^
will return correct (note the ^ in front of TObject)
a^: ~"type = TObject = class : ....
b^: ~"type = ^TObject = class : .....
And that is the same for all kind of debug infos :)
And with luck, that will work with the Mac 6.3.50 as well (because
6.3.50 cannot do "whatis TObject" => and current IDE wants that...)
Note that there will be more changes. Now effectively the Dwarf-2 code
for writing object-info is used for Dwarf 3 also. But there were some
additions in them old Dwarf-3 code, that I have to re-implement. (In
such a way that as much as possible code is shared between Dwarf-2 and
Dwarf-3)
I will start filling in reports...
Have you sen the RunGdbmi app next to my test? It allows you to run a
set of gbd instructions to the same application, with different
debuggers[1], different compilers[1], and different gw/gs settings, and
see all the result at once.
[1] assuming you use gdblist.txt and fpclist.txt files
The advantage is, you see the actual gdb output, instead of what the IDE
does with it....
