Sorry if I sounded impolite. I did not at all mean to insult them. On
the contrary I praise them for their exceptional work !
I only wanted to state that it does not make much sense to try to have
specific additional features included in gdb to improve it's usability
with FPC.
The gdb people have always been extremely helpful to Pierre, Joost and
me whenever we had any questions whatsoever about how to add certain
Pascal-specific functionality to gdb. And the gcc people have added a
DWARF identifier for the i386 Borland calling convention in a header
file that's imported by gdb so that it would be possible to add
support for it to gdb (even though gcc does not support it in any way).
If we could really hope for this, I would vote for a gdb extension
instead of creating a completely new debugger from scratch .
