How can I step into every line of source code available?

[df171422]

I don't care if the source code belongs to fpc, lazarus, a third-party, or me.  I'd like to be able to step over it if want to, or step into it if I want or need to.  This is a dev box so I don't really care how fat any .exe is on it.

Win 7 x64, fpc 3.0.0 bootstrap, fpc 3.1.1 and lazarus 1.7 trunks 2015-12-19

I have a great script I got from the forums that gets the trunks from svn and builds fpc and lazarus from source.  For good measure before I run it I recursively delete the fpc, lazarus, and appdata/local folders so there's no residue.  I've tried so many things good or bad, but right now for fpc it boils down to:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. make all OPT="-O1 -gl -g"

and for lazarus it's:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. make bigide OPT="-O1 -gl -g"

.

From within the IDE I've tried compiling and installing every package I can find like this:

And for an example, I'm trying to step into TSQLQuery.FieldByName().AsString:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. TMainForm = class(TForm)
2.   Button1: TButton;
3.   Query: TSQLQuery;
4.  
5. ...
6.  
7. procedure TMainForm.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
8. var
9.   vName: string;
10. begin
11.   vName:=Query.FieldByName('Name').AsString;
12.   ShowMessage(vName);
13. end;
14.  

I put the ShowMessage() there just to make sure vName isn't getting optimized out, eliminating the need for the ...AsString line altogether.  Alt+Up Arrow brings be to the code I'm interested in stepping into, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the debugger there.

Can anyone help me out with this?

for fpc I use (dwarf), some may not be needed

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. make.exe all LINKSMART=1  CREATESMART=1  DEBUG=1 OPTIMIZE=0  OPT="-gl -gw -godwarfsets -O-1"

Lazarus IDE I build from within.
"Tools" / "Configure build lazarus"
Options "-gl -gw -godwarfsets -O-1"

Also open package FCL (nearly all packages depend an it), and edit its options:
"Package Options" / "Usage", in memo "Custom" add $(IDEBuildOptions)

"Usage" means: any package that uses (direct or inderect) this package, gets those options.

Thanks a bunch.  I have this working consistently now.  I implemented the changes you suggested with these tweaks:

- In the OPT= parameter I think you meant -O1.  This is what I'm using.
- I'm using your basic make all for FPC and make bigide for Lazarus in the script.

I also noticed that Lazarus found and used FPC source code in a subfolder in my downloads folder.  I unzipped this just to look at it and really meant to delete the folder.  Here I pointed it to the correct folder:

I have no idea which of these changes made the IDE work like I wanted, maybe several or all of them.

I hope this helps anyone who is trying to step through the code like me.
