[fpc-devel] DWARF / debug // Re: Fwd: New Issue: Accessibility Declarations for FreePascal

[Martin Frb]

Sorry "screen reader" is the wrong "accessibility" here.

The below is about debug info, especially DWARF.  I am in the process of 
requesting some additions so FPC can better represent its data.

In DWARF accessibility describes private/protected/public sections in 
classes/records/structures.
