Is there a known size limit to Form/Pas files in Delphi, specifically Delphi 5?
I have inherited an application where a descended form has 30,000 lines of code and the form in text format is 19,000 lines long which the debugger refuses to step into, e.g. I can place a break point on a method but when the method is run the debugger does not step into it. Even when the break point is on a blue dotted line. I have rebuilt all the dcu's and things like the optimizer are off but the blue dots only appear from about halfway down the code file to the bottom. Methods such as create/destroy etc do not have blue dots but I can put a breakpoint in an ancestor or descendant's create method and Delphi will pause there. I can for instance move the form's constructor to be the last method in the file and it then does get the blue dots but the debugger will still not stop in the form at that or any other breakpoint. In the ancestor form's breakpoint I can check the call stack to ensure the method is being called, the IDE debugger just refuses to step into that form. I realise it is not ideal to have such a big file in any case and am looking to re-engineer it, but for the mean time it would be very beneficial to be able to debug the existing code.
