Lazarus, including friendly debugging?
Yes, feel free to do that :)
[GRIN] Actually, it was a serious question: can Lazarus debug a .so and
would it stand any chance of debugging one which had the sort of
calling convention that Postgres expects an extension to have?
Really don't know, have to study docs for such scenario.
Speculating that Lazarus can, in fact, debug a .so and allowing that
the extension would be invoked by a forked PostgreSQL process, I think
the question boils down to whether Lazarus can attach to a process
that it has not started up.
GDB has a command for it (attach) , so it should be possible.
Potentially doable rather than currently possible. Presumably it would
be a functional alternative to the Run button or equivalent menu entry.
