Hi Graeme,
The debugger is not usable as it does not have been in the focus to be
developed.
Object property values cannot be seen either (dwarf or something
external program used does not support properties).
There were questions about the debugger functions in the past 2 years,
same as yours both on the Lazarus forums and the mailing lists.
If I remember correctly the answer was something like it is not priority
until after 1.0 .
IMO it is one of the most important aspects of RAD development to have a
fully working IDE debugger. Currently in Lazarus the debugger is not
usable for serious development because some of the most basic
requirements are missing. Not to mention a CPU window, etc.
It seems a new debugger should be developed that does not depend on non
compatible external programs, but there were no resources to do it in
the past years.

Hi,
I just can't seem to debug anything inside the Lazarus IDE. Maybe my
computer just doesn't like me or something. :-(
See attached screenshot. "Slots" is a local variable which is a
"record" structure. I can't seem to get any debug information about
the fields in that record, using Lazarus IDE.
Does anybody actually debug code inside the Lazarus IDE? Or do you
all use external debugging tools or log files? I seem to get the
feeling that debugging is the single biggest feature missing from the
Lazarus IDE. Unfortunately debuging is a vital part of any IDE.
