[SOLVED] Is it possible to jump into C code from Lazarus? If yes, when/how?
« on: September 25, 2023, 08:32:19 pm »
Hi everyone,

I am receiving an "ActiveX not available" error from SDL_GetError when calling SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO). I am wondering what should I do with Lazarus to known in which line this error is happening in the C code (with step into, F7). Where should I place the header and source SDL files?

Best,
R

Hi everyone,

Please, shed some light on this. Is it possible to jump into C code (F7)? I am getting a weird "activex not available" error when calling:

if SDL_InitSubSystem(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0 then begin
...
end;

The strange thing is that this error was NOT happening yesterday on my own machine. I found this error running on a Windows 7 machine. And now it happening on my Windows 11 machine. What the hell is happening??

I think it is possible, but then the C object/library needs to contain the necessary debug information.

Under linux I'm regulary jumping into Qt c-bindings and from there regulary to Qt c++ sources with gdb, and yes, from Lazarus. Of course debug info and dev packages should be installed for that scenario.

Hi,

Yes, you can :)

Thank you people! You are awesome!

Just to update the SDL2 issue https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/8296. It turns out that it was related to SDL_VIDEODRIVER windows system environment variable.

This is a different topic. cpicanco asked to debug into the C-code. Calling it is already obvious by them using SDL functions. And debugging requires the C-code to have (compatible) debug information available.

Thank you, I will keep that information in mind!

You can step into C code, if you use GDB as debugger backend.

Mind though that for evaluating WATCHES the IDE pre-translates for gdb, so if an expression should be watched you may need to do "pascal style".

FpDebug is not tested for that (yet). So maybe, maybe not.
