[fpc-devel] 0020225: issue examining pointer/array/record elements with GDB

[Martin]

http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=20225

I did run a test on w32 vista

with gdb 6.7.5  /  7.0  /  7.2.1  /  7.3.1  /  7.3.2
with fpc 2.4.4  /  recent fixes 2.6  / recent trunk

stabs
dwarf
dwarf3 (only trunk + gdb 7.3.2)

the result:
- all combinations of gdb and fpc using stabs got the correct result.
- none were able to display it with dwarf.

the conclusion on the bug report appears wrong. it is not a gdb version 
issue (unless gdb 7.2 / 7.3 on linux has fixes over the window version). 
It is a stabs/dwarf issue
