I just noted (testing with 3.3.1 from 2 or 3days ago) that -gw adds 3 variables for result
"result"
"FUNCTIONNAME"
"RESULT"

Why an upper, and lowercase result?

"result" is the actual function result parameter.

"FUNCTIONNAME" is an alias (internally an "absolute" variable") for "result".

"RESULT" is an alias (idem) for "result" that only gets created if
{$modeswitch result} is active.

Lowercase variables cannot be accessed directly by Pascal code, and only by the compiler itself (or through absolute aliases).

Gdb shows all 3 values in the locals
-stack-list-locals

So the double "result"/"RESULT" is irritating.

Anyway its not a major issue. I just wanted to mention it, in case it was by accident.

Btw, using DWARF 3, it shows as "$result"/"RESULT"

And the variable  FUNCTIONNAME, is all uppercase. Despite all other identifiers in DWARF 3 are in the declared case. (The FunctionName for the function itself, is correctly cased too)
So it seems there is an old uppercase() left over somewhere.

"RESULT" is also all upper, but there is no declaration by the user, from which to take any other case info.
