Hi,
I write here because bug database is unavailable. Peter wrote that "fpc and IDE fp contain the same compiler, that means that fpc also generates sub directory info". I don't know how it is possible but there are differences between symbols for gdb generated by fpc and fp.
I've compiled simple hello program by fp and fpc and then I examine it by gdb with command "maint print symbols".
For fp I have:
Symtab for file hello.pas
Compilation directory is c:/test/
Read from object file /cygdrive/c/test/hellofp.exe (0x10138fd8) Language: pascal
....etc
And for fpc:
Symtab for file hello.pas
Read from object file /cygdrive/c/test/hellofpc.exe (0x10138fd8) Language: pascal
....etc
Missing row: " Compilation directory..."
