Nope, the problem is still there... just as when I tested it back in
2008-2009.

This exact same code works perfectly in Delphi 7 and Kylix 3. Above is
an old screenshot, but I just tested with latest Lazarus Trunk and GDB
7.3 - nothing has changed.
Ah. That problem. Luckily (?) this has nothing to do with gdb. Also any
Pascal debugger won't fix this.
This problem exists because there is no debug-information generated for
the unit containing that global variable.
Adding a compiler option to add type and global-variables
debug-information to units, without lineinfo is on my todo list for a
long time now. That way the rtl and part of the fcl can be compiled with
this debug-info. Maybe I should spend some time on it.
BTW: is it correct that some info about classes from units without debug
info, does get into the app?
At least if you have an inherited class, in a unit with debug info.
e.g If TForm1 in unit1 has debug info, then TComponent (which is a base
class) appears to be included too?
