[Lazarus] some workarounds [Re: Debugger problems]

[ABorka]

Agreed.

Not to mention that it makes development about 50 times faster to have a 
good debugger. About a third of code typing needed with all the extra 
log file or console messages (finding a bug with log files is a PITA...).
With a good debugger one can go backward and forward in the code while 
debugging, change variable values, re-run parts of code, optimize the 
source code after seeing the disassembly view, etc. All been done more 
than a decade ago in Delphi.
Without a similar debugger it is not RAD (Rapid Application Development) 
no matter what people say.

There should be more focus on developing a proper debugger for 
FPC/Lazarus, I agree.
