"SizeOf" does not work in the Evaluate/Modify wind

[Hitnrun]

Am I missing something? The sizeof function is one of the "internal" functions, it seems strange to me that it doesn't work on the debugging windows...

If this is really the case, is it possible to talk directly do gdb while debugging on lazarus?

[Vincent Snijders]

a function is a function, even if it is an internal function.

No, it is not possible to talk directly to gdb while debugging in Lazarus, but you can start gdb from the command line yourself and debug your app directly in gdb.

Event then it will be hard. Please let me know if you were able to call a function

[Hitnrun]

Hmm so I can't call any function on the evaluate window? Is this a gdb or fpc/lazarus limitation? It really makes debugging slower, but it can be overcomed.

[Marc]

by default ist turned off in gdb

[Hitnrun]

So... the irresistible question... can we turn it on?

[Marc]

I don't expect any usefull results from gdb, so I won't turn it on.

[Hitnrun]

Ah it is only changeable inside lazarus source code? Ah ok, I thought there was an option somewhere.

[Marc]

its an option for gdb, but this is not exposed since I expect lost of troubles with it.
