I have regarded the #16839 raply and switching state to "information" as 
direct refusal to do something at all.
I wasn't right ?

I also now have under lazarus/fpc ~100000 lines of my sources (on me 
one),
so question in that, for whom is more harder to investigate YOUR errors 
?
Apparently, i must accept as my duty only differential diagnostic 
between your and my code.
I think, on stage of publishing (cutted) DM1.pas in #10457 report my 
duties was ended.
The rest has been done only from my LOVE to fpc and lazarus (that error 
was not critical to my projects).
I expected more activity from developers team in serious errors 
investigation.

DM1.pas part published have all required to error localization.
{$mode delphi} significance clarification has taken away ~20 minutes of 
time.
But that even not was tried, it may be guilty New Year's holidays ?

Nothing, but I have regarded it as the requirement.

I do not try at all start squabble, i'm possible is simply tired.
