If anyone using trunk feels a bit daredevilish, feel free to test FpGdbmiDebugger.
Do NOT use for production. / Use at your own risk only.
Important: Read http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FpGdbmiDebugger
It explains what to expect.
More important, also what not to expect.
And most important what not yet to report.
The page also explains how to install it.
Well, the FpGdbmiDebugger is more something for *junior* daredevils. Real man/women install the package
components/lazfpdebuggers/lazdebuggerfp. Then they go to the debug-options and select the
'FpDebug internal Dwarf-debugger (alfa)'
That's so alpha it doesn't even have a wiki-page. Basicly it uses the same code to evaluate the debug-information as the FpGdbmiDebugger, but it also uses the debug-capabilities of fpDebug. That means that it does not use only works on win32 (and OS/X i386, but in that case you have to code-sign your Lazarus executable).
Software exceptions are not caught (yet) and all information on the wiki-page about fpGdbmiDebugger also applies.
Its not very useful to send bugs for features that are obviously missing. (like support for the evaluate/modify dialog. Watches do work, though) Bugs like 'If I have code like this: **** and the current line is line XX and I do a 'step', then the debugger continues, instead of stepping one line.' are really welcome. (Well, not *really* welcome, because my code is flawless, obviously. But you get what I mean...)
Just for ppl who want to have a look...
