Are you using Windows or Linux (or OSX)?

In my experience, GDB runs better under Linux than Windows. Under Windows anti-virus software will often get in the way as well as it being generally slower.

I take Graeme's point about GDN not being that great for Pascal, but it does work most of the time and adding a few well placed "writeln" statements often makes up for any deficiencies (again much easier under Linux due to the difficulty of getting a working console under Windows). At least with Pascal you don't seem to get the regular C++ GDB problem of "variable optimised out" just when need to get its value.

Great Work guys!

However, the gdb that comes with it is not as good. I know debugger is hard to write so I am not blaming it. I just hope someone can share some tips or settings tricks that I can, perhaps, make it work better?

e.g. it is very slow and its speed is not stable.
Sometimes, it is extremely slow or even stall the execution of the main program. But when I delete all breakpoints and restart it and add back the breakpoints, it runs faster.

I am hoping people can share this kind of tips.

Anyone?

Dennis
