Hi, How accurate is the fpdebug wiki page: https://wiki.freepascal.org/FpDebug Especially the known issues/limitations mentioned there.

It lists quite a few issues... so rather open question. For more details name the one(s) of interest.

Properties => not encoded in debug info by fpc (Dwarf standard has had it added)

String/PChar => should still be as described / not tested for all the new string stuff (e.g. widestring rtl)

Modifying managed types.
- IIRC also still as on wiki.
- fpdebug can create an ansistring, to pass as argument to a function (if it can detect that an ansistring is needed, and not pchar)

Scope
There is lots missing in Dwarf. Still as given.

* FPC Issues *
resource string => not tested in long time
unicodestring=> not tested in long time
"Object" => unchanged
dyn array => not tested in long time

stride => workaround / afaik my testcase has tests for that / testcase is run for Win and Linux 64 and 32

Also, threadvar aren't implemented...
