Hello, FPC developers' list.

According to FPC sources sets info is only written with the dwarf3 option (-gw3). I have checked how it works in gdb7.0 and found no crashes.

28 include(S, smFirst);
(gdb) ptype S
type = set of smFirst..smThird
(gdb) print S
$1 = []
(gdb) next
29 include(S, smSecond);
(gdb) print S
$2 = [smFirst]

The only glitch is the type name:
type = set of smFirst..smThird
instead of
TSetOfSomething = set of TSomething; (TSomething = (smFirst, smSecond, smThird))

I've also found that it is possible to include sets info to the dwarf2 if option "ds_dwarf_sets" is included into
"current_settings.debugswitches". Although there are no places where this happen.

Hence I have a question whether this option can be set per system: win32 / linux / osx /.. or there was another idea of how to include it into the debugswitches?

You have to compile with -godwarfsets.

This is also documented in "fpc -h", FWIW.
