Thanks David, Pete amd Florian, When I try Peter's advice, I get
(gdb) info line 0x08071049^ Function "0x08071049" not defined. I found the section of the FPC User's Manual that talks about gdb and I assumed that I hadn't used the '-g' option ... but now I'm wondering if '-gl' should allow gdb debugging? The docs on gdb seem pretty volumnous but I didn't see 'info' as a command... Regarding the EOutOfMemory exception, is that thrown only when all (physical+virtual) memory is exhausted? Or is it also possible to try to allocate too big a chunk (say, a chunk that exceeds physical but not physical+virtual)? I'm running FC1 with the 2.4 kernel (although I may upgrade to FC2 with the 2.6 kernel). -Alan --- David Emerson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When you compile with -gl you need to make sure that you recompile > all the units, as well as the main program, with the -gl flag. > Passing a -B flag will recompile all units (whose sources are found > in the path), so: > fpc -gl -B myprogram > > If, after doing so, you still lack line info, it's probably because > it's hitting an error in the rtl or some other part of the fpc > system, in which case you ought to be able to trace the erroneous > call back to the last call made by your code. > > If you'll be running in debug mode for any appreciable length of > time, you might consider putting -gl in your fpc.cfg, so fpc will > always compile all your programs with the line info.
