Huh? Are you saying that rather simple code example is actually "complex"?
It is a complex structure for the debugger. It puts together at least 3
concepts.
Remember that the gdb debugger is extremely C oriented.
GDB is used by lack of something better, and by lack of someone willing to
spend full-time work on maintaining a cross-platform debugger.
Comparing it to the Borland debugger which is in it's roots 25 years old,
continuously maintained by a team that works on the Pascal language, and
so is commercially backed up, is comparing apples with pears.
I think everyone would rather have a native FPC debugger, but as with all
things: who is going to do the work ?
I dare say that work on fpGUI also doesn't advance as fast as you would
like to. Why is this so ? Answer: Lack of manpower.
Taking into account the small community, FPC/Lazarus do an extremely good job.
