gdb doesn't know this info by itself, but by the debuginfo present in
the executable generated by fpc.

I don't think this is exacly happening for this piece of code, but it
will when using a string as variable (since that needs
initialization/finalization code).
The example sequence I provided is for reference.
The steps are:
1) initialize local variables
2) execute
1) finalize local variables
3) return

Entering a try finally section you can roughly be seen it as calling a
subroutine. So looking at your try..finally example, the steps are:
2) execute
1) enter the finalisation code of this "subproc" which source location
is generated at the start
2) is return from "subproc",
4,5) continue execution

Thank you for your answer. That was exactly what I needed to know.
Regards.

I'm wondering: is this a feature or a bug ?
