I finally found the cause of the problem. I don’t use build modes in Lazarus, so only ever looked at the “Project Options -> Compiler Options -> Compilation and Linking” screen. That’s where I set the -O- option, and I also set other debugging options in the “Compiler Options -> Debugging” screen, like the -gl and -gh options. What I didn’t realize was that inside “Compiler Options -> Additions and Overrides”, there was a “Stored in IDE” custom option (there are actually a few defined), and one of the active options was -O2. And that optimisation option is what caused all the trouble. Lovely conflicting options with no warning. Personally I think the Compiler Options screens in Lazarus is a huge confusing mess. The IDE dialog designers should take some cues from MSEide’s Project Options dialog. In MSEide all build/make option are located in one place/screen with an instant overview of all build modes. What you see is what you get. No hidden settings from other screens. Anyway. Thank you very much Martin for taking the time in trying to help me. I apologise for my heated messages from earlier. At that point I wasted so many hours, and were at boiling point for some time. That probably wasn’t the best time to write a message either.
