Hi List.

After the latest update of my Arch Linux i got a hold of GDB 7.6 and for some apparent reason
debugging from within lazarus has stopped working as it should. At least there is a problem
with breakpoints, since they are not always followed.

If i downgrade my GDB to 7.5.1 again debugging starts working again. Have anyone else experienced
this?

Ps. i'm using Lazarus of trunk (rev. 41103) and fpc 2.6.2

Kind regards,
Torsten B. Christiansen.

There is a known issue (in GDB) that leads to crashes when variables are inspected (via hint/watch or otherwise)
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GDB_Debugger_Tips#Issues_with_GDB_7.5.9_or_7.6

There is another issue, if your GDB is translated (none English), see same wiki page.

An issue with breakpoints is not yet known.
You can produce a log (see bottom of that wiki page). But given the watches bug, even if an issue with breakpoints can be found and maybe fixed, it will not help much.
