[Lazarus] GDB is not good, any tricks to improve it?

2016-05-25 Thread Dennis 

I am using Lazarus 1.7 (2016-04-20) with FPC 3.1.1

Great Work guys!

However, the gdb that comes with it is not as good.  I know debugger is 
hard to write so I am not blaming it.
I just hope someone can share some tips or settings tricks that I can, 
perhaps, make it work better?


e.g. it is very slow and its speed is not stable.
Sometimes, it is extremely slow or even stall the execution of the main 
program.  But when I delete all breakpoints and restart it and add back 
the breakpoints, it runs faster.


I am hoping people can share this kind of tips.

Anyone?

Dennis

Correct. Drivemappings are user specific. You get the same if you want to run 
something as administrator from a mapping.

Depends on windows version, iirc on modern versions local system (or was it 
local service) it has no network access

you need to be more specific... what, exactly, do you mean by ""printer 
issue""??

Not sure 100%, but I think that mapped drives only work  when a user
opens a desktop session. Services don't know about mapped drives. Think
of it, in the same server, different users may map the same network
resource with a different letter.

Instead of mapped drives I think you should use \\server\resource, and
the user who runs the service that calls the CGI must have permission on
that resource. If the service is run as "Local system", I don't know how
to grant permission in a remote machine.

Does it fail only for the root UNC path but works for a path that contains
a folder component?

DirectoryExists internally uses GetFileAttributes WinAPI, which states:
