Take some looks at delphi forums
Indeed I have never read those forums
waht the people thinks about lazarus and you will see that a lot of
users uninstall it before go to web or read some faq.
What a pity for them. We can do nothing for them. If they don't make
critism of lazarus, it does not matter.
It is like not buying a new car because of the color.
And if we can make it better why not ?
Delphi has also no debuginfos included for the vcl and the lcl
debuginfos makes no sense for an normal user so why leave them for
default ?
Another issue is that i have at time 2 executables one with
debuginfo and one without.
When one of my customers has an problem that i cant reproduce ill
send hin the executable with debuginfos and on an exception my
exception handler get automatically an stacktrace and show it to the
user.
Without debuginfos the stacktrace is useless. When the lcl
debuginfos arend there i can publish always the exectable with
debuginfos.
I hadnt the idea to strip the debuginfos from the lcl bevore.
That follows the idea that a "Target mecanism" is needed. I agree it
is a need, and it is not trivial for beginners (not normal user.
Normal users read the documentation because you cannot play a game
without knowing the rules. They already know how to use Delphi when
they were a little baby ? ^^) and some modifications are necessary. As
far I know this is planned for Lazarus >=1.0, in order to make a
consistent patch (Old thread - Should be confirmed by a Lazarus team
member, I speak for myself here). Waiting for that, the provided
documentation is really enough for any programmer and I would add :
RTFM :)
If you read the Delphi forums, may be you could enlighten those people
on this "problem", if they consider it as a problem ?
