Well, the version I use has version 7.2.50.20110107-cvs. But those
version-numbers are a mess. Especially since Fedora in fact uses a fork
of gdb (Archer) but it has the same name. It's this fork I base my work
on. And I don't think you can detect the difference between the forked
(archer) gdb and the original one.
Maybe another way to detect this is: (After an application is loaded,
but you have to do this only once)
set case off
b MaiN
-> fails = old/no case-insensitive support = set case on (or auto)
-> works = new/working case-insensitive support = set case off
Or is that too ugly?
Maybe possible, but I would have to do it the save way, that is, the IDe
needs to detect if gdb crashed, and then be able to restart, and omit...
=> that is some extra worrk...
Or maybe, it will be enough if I just combine that with the version
check too. (need to find out.
Also need to see what else can be used in the version string:
C:\FPC\GDB\7.2-50_joost>gdb

"This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-mingw32"."
Not sure what that was on fedora?
Not sure if yur patched version can add something unique?
Alternatively, as soon as I fix the user-config for the debugger (in the
ide options) to be persistent (there is a mantis issue, so apparently
it doesn't work)
Then I could just add an option, and leave it to the user...
What are the chances for that to be fixed in
