[Solved] Is it possible to debug step by step with Lazarus + fpGUI ?

[devEric69]

Hello,

I'm starting with fpGUI. I was able to load and compile a fpGUI's project in Lazarus IDE. I can create the targeted application for x11. I see the interface drawn with the x11 widgets. I manage to create a DEBUG mode in Lazarus IDE. I manage to launch and run in this DEBUG mode. And I can set a breakpoint.

But... the application never stops at this breakpoint . Do I have to look further in my IDE's configuration, or can't fpGUI targeted applications be debugged step by step?

That is  odd. Debugger should not be affected by what code you include...

Usual suspects:

-O-  (at max -O1, but really better NO optimization)  (though breakpoints often work at higher opt)

No Smart linking.

No Inlining.
Warning, if a method has the "inline" modifier, then even at -O- it will be inlined. Use {$INLINE off} at the top of the unit.

Indeed, I can now trace, step by step: I've just had to recompile the fpgui_toolkit.lpk package, with debugging options and information (necessary, because the window inherits from TfpgForm).
