The current FPC 3.2.0RC1 / 2.0.8 release works fine for me, though I
would comment that debugging with gdb seemed particularly crash prone;
I am using:
GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora 8.3.50.20190824-30.fc31 (64 bit)
It (gdb) would crash far too often on hitting a breakpoint in my
program. I would say the internal dwarf debugger in Lazarus proved
rather more reliable - maybe this is a better default for Linux?
What debug type info are you using?
I know that gdb has quite some issues with FPC's dwarf 3.
There are a few people who say dwarf 3 works for them, but I do highly
recommend dwarf-2-with-sets.
That said gdb with dwarf-2 is not crash free either. Just a little less
likely...
Many crashes happens when accessing watches (or locals or parameters).
Finding what it crashes on:
https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips#Log_info_for_debug_session
Then you might be able to avoid it... Maybe...
In Lazarus 2.1 fpdebug is pre-installed. But not yet the default. That
decision is still pending. But ultimately the idea is for it to become
the default.
