[fpc-devel] parentfp question/idea

[Martin]

fpc stores parentfp in debug info, which allows an IDE to detect nested 
procs, and check for variables in the parent frame.

however while good, this solution is not 100% (ok nothing ever is)
haven't tested, but if memory serves....

procedure Outer;
var i: integer;
   procedure Middle;

     procedure Inner;
     begin
       writeln(i); // uses Outer
     end;

   var i: integer; // Middle, but not visible to Inner
   begin
   end;

begin
end;

This scoping isn't coverable by framefp?

The ide/question is (and yes, it is one of the ones: I am not the one to 
do it, so I can't expect anyone else....)

could  "i" not be somehow encoded as a local variable? like i = framefp.i?
