Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.4.8 i386, glibc 2.1, gcc 2.95.3, gpc 20010924, fpc 1.0.4
>Description:
Mandrake 8.0 came with a version of GDB labeled 5.0.11. I cannot find an official release with this version number. BUT, this release allowed correct debugging of structures/records/objects. The newer versions around gdb-20010813 (maybe before this), you cannot show the contents of many structures without either core dumping or giving a "Unexpected type (16) encountered for integer constant." error when trying to print the contents of a pointer to a structure.
>How-To-Repeat:
There are loads of ways to reproduce this by compiling and debugging the FPC source code. If you want specifics, please email me and I'll get them to you.
