Hi All:
I have encountered a problem doing things that used to work. (Using
Lazarus 1.4.4 on Linux and 1.4.2 on Raspbian)
Specifically, I can no longer step into subprograms in library units,
and when I set a breakpoint in the library code it is colored dull
green as opposed to bright red in the main program. Some, but not
all, of the library code is implemented using generics.
I can't see anything I am doing differently than before (except that
I copied the entire source for the program and library from a
Raspberry PI, including the configurations. The PI also had this
problem).
Dull green, usually (check debug output window) means that gdb
returned, that there is on code on the requested line/number.
will do.
With generics, usually the oposite is the case, there are several
blocks of code containing the location (and on windows, I have seen
gdb handling that, at least in some cases).
come to think of it, IIRC gdb handled generics in windows, but that was
back on Lazarus 1.0. I have been working exclusively on Linux and
Raspbian for the past 2 years.
The question then is, if fpc did generate sufficient debug info or if
gdb has an issue. (try stabs and dwarf)
will do.
Forgot to mention that gdb itself occasionally crashes when working
around this code!
ensure you disable "inlining"
where?

Martin,
Thanks for the pointers.
I discovered something since I wrote the last email: gdb works
(except for occasional failures in generics) if I compile the whole
thing (Run | Cleanup and Build ...) in Linux. Lazarus itself is
protected so I have to skip the errors. (I just upgraded this laptop
to an SSD so the Cleanup and Build runs faster than just-plain Compile
on the original HDD ... Yippy!!!). I haven't tried it on Raspbian yet.
