Hi,
I don't know what I have changed exactly, but nowadays i get log files
from the application I wrote; also when run as single executable.
Happens when I build with gdb or with fp debugger. I have looked in
fpc.cfg and lots of other settings. Can't find it.
It logs:
STATUS INFO : @ 14:16:17 MSG : Starting Application IN :
Initialization
STATUS INFO : @ 14:16:21 MSG : Terminating Application IN :
Finalization
I'm running Lazarus 64 bits 2.1.0 with FPC 3.2.0.
Who knows where this is coming from?
It also looks like gdb has become much slower...
Greetings, Leo

OK, found it. Somewhere, in one of the units in a package I use, I had
added 'logger' (logger.pas in FPC) to the uses clause. This was
probably with the intention to use it for debugging. I never used it
however. Then I forgot about it... Three weeks later I noticed this
annoying problem of the log files.
Glad I found it...

Thank you so much for this post. Saved me a tonne of time!!
I'd accidentally included logger into list of units.

thats why compiler directives exist

uses
  ...
{$IFDEF DEBUG}
  , logging
{$ENDIF}
;
