GDB 8.0
Pascal:
I just saw that GDB 8.0 was released these days.
Can it be used with Lazarus? Does it provide any new features to debugging with Lazarus?
Ñuño_Martínez:
If GDB 8.0 maintains backward compatibility, you can use it.
Martin_fr:
There is a debugger test case in the debugger directory (under components/gdbmi.....)
My experience was that at least on windows gdb 7.8 and up, were less stable than older versions. (Probably todo with debug info for pascal typical structures, that are uncommon in C)
Thaddy:
If GDBMI is our default on all platforms it simply works. Even with quirks. I can't test anymore with the libs linked in.
wid:
Unfortunately GDB 8.0 unexpectedly exits under OSX 10.12.6 (Sierrra)
The exit message is:
"During startup program terminated with signal ?", "Unknown signal.""
I have used instructions how to install from here (very clear info):

but they use old version there. Anybody can help how to make it work for GDB 8.0 or how to downgrade to 7.12 ?
