Is it possible to execute a property or function in a debug window?

Hello,

in contrast to delphi lazarus cannot show the result of a property or
function in the watch window. Is it somehow possible to execute it,
e.g. in a debug window, to execute such a property or function, like
in other IDEs? I type something in, and it will be executed?

Or is there any other way to see such value, expecially propertys,
during debugging?
I don't want to write some output commands into the source code just
for debugging.

Lazarus looks pretty cool with the new docking style. The only
drawback, switching from delphi to lazarus is the debug experience.

No, GDB lacks the Object Pascal support for that.  Debugging is a
major downside of FPC/Lazarus over Delphi.
