Hi!

When I debug a file. That is , the debugger stops and I look at the call stack, I cannot see filename and linenumber....
In other words, the debugging is made harder.
I heard it was related to the freepascal compiler was not able to cooperate with gdb as the generated stack frame format changed... I wonder if one can write a debugger that could get the calls off the stack properly. Does the compiler place sufficient information in the stack to deduce the calls
backwards when an exception occurs? Is that format predictable?
What is the timeframe in which this problem may be fixed?

If you need stable debugging support, then use a 2.0.2 fpc and not the development branch.
(you know why it is a development branch, do you ?)

Yes but I keep forgetting when things are going well and sometimes official releases are not perfect either (e.g they do not compile). That is why I turned to development branch which compiled but the debugging is crippled.
