Important
This page is under construction. It may contain wrong information and must be confirmed/repaired by Marc.
You must setup the debugger and start the project to debug it. Only then the breakpoints are useful.
What is the call stack?
The call stack is the stack of function calls. The top line is the current function, the lowest line is the main program.
Source
This is the filename of the source. This information is retrieved from the debugging information contained in the executable. Only those parts of the program compiled with gnu debugger information contains such information.
Line
If the position contains gnu debugger information, the source line will be shown, otherwise only the address pointer in the executable is shown.
Note: The line is the line at compile time. If you inserted/deleted lines, they will not be accurate.
Function
The mangled name of the procedure/function. The compiler converts the pascal identifiers into names, useable by the gnu tools. For example:
