Huh?  Are you saying that rather simple code example is actually "complex"?

Just in your world (or is that FPC and Lazarus's world) that it true.
Everybody else in every other programming language uses the debugger
output as correct - for debugging purposes none the less.

I guess yet another example of why a native Object Pascal based
debugger is _required_ for FPC and Lazarus.

I attached a Kylix 3 screenshot for your viewing pleasure. Just to
show that some debuggers can actually show the correct debug values
with that "complex" code example of mine. Sometimes I wonder if moving
to FPC and Lazarus was actually such a good choice. Lately I struggle
to silence the laugher from other developers using other languages and
toolset. :-(
