Debugger: Sometimes yes, sometimes no
lazarus / 12-Debugger

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I am running Lazarus 1.2.6, on a MAC with OS10.10.2 (Yosemite).  I
have the Lazarus options set so that the correct path to gdb is
established, and I have the compile/link option set to compile code
with debugger data included.  Previously, when I set a breakpoint and
single-stepped the code, it worked like a debugger should.   Nww when
I try to set a breakpoint, the code execution just ignores it. 
 Anybody have any idea what might have gone wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

No idea, but a few points to check:

- NO smartlinknig
- NO optimizations ( -O1 is ok-ish, but no opt is best)
- on MAC make sure debug info type is set to dwarf(2) + sets

Also try a clean build.

If the breakpoints are not in your project, but in a package, then
enable dwarf for the package too.
