The debug problem is not really in our hands. We use the GNU debugger,
and if the GNU team (not exactly a cheering crowd of pascal fans)
breaks
things for Pascal, then we are pretty much powerless.
It is extremely unlikely the above symptoms (both the ones described
for 2.2.0 and 2.2.2) have anything to do whatsoever with Pascal
support in gdb. It sounds much more like bugs in the internal debugger
interface of the IDE (and as for the 2.2.2 symptom, I read that as
"the 2.2.2 IDE won't even run for me").
in fact, gdb's Pascal support has been extremely stable (I've seen
less than a handful regressions during the last 10 years). And that
while the first basic Pascal test cases for gdb were only added during
the last couple of years (by Pierre).
