[fpc-devel] Calling virtual methods in GDB

[Joost van der Sluis]

Hi all,

I've just committed a fix (r19253) which makes it possible to call
virtual methods within GDB. (Or other Dwarf-debuggers, when they
support that properly)

Only problem is that when GDB is in Pascal mode, it won't work. I have
written a patch for that
(http://cygwin.com/ml/gdb/2011-09/msg00072.html) or you can set GDB to
use C, and then call the virtual function.

Note however that there still could be issues regarding the
calling-convention. With a simple function returning an integer it
works, however. ;)
