It should give you the real classname
Can this be used in the debugger hint, when moving the mouse over 'Sender'?
It should work on all modern gdb, 32 and 64 bit. PChar is not guaranteed
to be defined, but can be replaced by ^char
One problem is that the string is not 0 terminated, so you get trash at
the ned => it is a shortstring. If shortstring is defined (the debugger
knows internally) then Shortstring can be used.
Otherwhise the length should be (not tested): (^^^Byte(Sender)^+3)^^
Basically class name is the 3rd entry in the PVMT
It should probably be added to the debugger => e.g to GDBTypeInfo
But I see no problem with putting it in the IDE code until then.
But I only want to evaluate it , if really requested => watches eval
already takes long enough.
There is a flag that can be passed to GDBEvaluate, it could be used to
trigger the info => ultimately type-info should keep a reference to GDB,
so it can fetch info, on access (but then it neds a callback, since info
may not be immediately avail...
