btw: I could not reproduce the external-linker and stabs crashes. Can
you give me some more info?
Hm, I have to check what version of the external linker I have.
C:\FPC\trunk\bin\i386-win32>ld.exe -v
GNU ld version 2.16.91 20050827
Maybe time to check for something newer
I will look into it. Maybe it is a case of mixed symbols... I will do
some more testing
Such expression are used in breakpoint-conditions.
- dyn array: to be tested under dwarf 3, probably no longer needing the
"^". with dwarf2 dyn array do need the "^"
- strings: little tested, they are treated as dyn array of chars.
Obviously, with dwarf3 strings may be improved, and the IDE will get
better detection.
In dwarf2/stabs they are reported as "^(array of char)" which could also
be dyn-array.
It is possible to get the type-name, but:
- the user may have aliased it: "type MyAnsi = type Ansistring;"
- the user may have a local type "type Ansistring = array of char;"
(0-based)
We should find a way to detect if -gw3 is used. Then you don't need
those adaptations for strings anymore. Just do 'p variable', it will
always give the right result.
True, but:
There are already checks for stabs vs dwarf => but they are of little
use, since symbol type info can be mixed, if packages where compiled
with diff settings.
