Sometimes it gave me only a pointer address, that makes no sense to me.

It's would be nice if there's a detail for array, object properties, etc~

just an suggestion.

Great Thanks to the dev group for this wonderful product!

Point is that most values returend are generated by gdb. gdb is very C oriented, and has limited knowledge of pascal types. For strings I already display the contents, the same for dynarrays can be done to.

Properties are not possible to evaluate, simply because there is no debuggin structure for it (so you cannot generate info). With dwarf3 it is getting better, but the last time I checked, gdb doesn't support all dwarf3 info.
