The lowercase filename comes into the .stabs of the TestProgram due to the routine TGNUAssembler.WriteFileLineInfo of aggas.pas at line 237 of the fpc compiler. If I change that line from:
AsmWriteLn(#9'.stabs "'+lower(FixFileName(infile.name^))+'",'+
to
AsmWriteLn(#9'.stabs "'+FixFileName(infile.name^)+'",'+
and compile fpc first and then again my TestProgram, then GDB happily accepts the mixed case file name for seting breakpoints, and all the features of Xcode can be used to source level debug fpc programs.
So, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, can someone change line 237 in aggas.pas as indicated. It would be OK, to make the change conditional for the target Darwin.
Just for my curiosity, how does this work with case sensitive filesystems. My understanding of what´s going on tells me that setting breakpoints in mixed case files e.g. in Linux does´t work even when using lower case letters for the breakpoint, as long as line 237 of aggas.pas is not changed.
Best regards
We simply decided for fpc that on case sensitive systems, all source names should be lower case else you get case sensitiveness into the pascal language when working with units.
MyUnit.pas: unit MyUnit; ... end.
test.pas:
uses
MyUnit; <--- case sensitive identifier in pascal; myunit wouldn't be found and being case sensitive here would cause a lot of trouble.
That is fine. If all file names are lower case anyway, then line 237 of aggas.pas can safely be changed from:
AsmWriteLn(#9'.stabs "'+lower(FixFileName(infile.name^))+
to:
AsmWriteLn(#9'.stabs "'+FixFileName(infile.name^)+
since, the lower function has nothing to do there.
