lazarus / 12-Debugger

I can debug/step through the code on Linux but not on Windows - get an
error message that debugger cannot set breakpoint, perhaps cannot find
debug info.

Have tried with Laz trunk & Laz 1.2.4, both x86.

Attached full project.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks,
BigChimp

had that a couple of times has nothing to do with your project and
everything to do with the debugger, try to set the break point after
the debugging has began. I do not really know why it happens I
remember something about multi threading going wrong mostly inside the
debugger not your application.

EDIT : timing plays a strong role so try to add the break point in
variable intervals.

Thanks taazz, but no go...
Removed all breakpoints, added a sleep(5000) at the beginning of the
code.
Ran it, immediately
QuoteDebugger error

Oops, the debugger entered the error state...
...
The debugger could not set a breakpoint on the application's entry
point.
This may be caused by missing debug info.


The GDB command:
"-break-delete 4"
did not return any result.
so no chance to even set a breakpoint...

Went through the debugger tips page again and set -Xe (external
linker) which works... so apparently the internal linker has a bug
that manifests itself in this case.

Thanks for the help, Taazz!

Mmm, I reported it on
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=26470
who knows, it might help in finding out the cause...
