sorry it is
gdb -i mi project.exe

probably a simple
gdb project.exe
will also do

Breakpoint normally only work on lines with blue dots. So if there is no 
blue dot then that means there is no line of code there.

Well of course in your case there is. But it is unknown to the debugger.
- Either FPC did not generate the info when compiling
- gdb has a bug reading the issue
- the IDE does display incorrect

In the last case the breakpoint would actually work. For the IDE does 
not check for the blue dot. IT just displays it, but does not use it for 
any check when setting the breakpoint.

You can try explicitly setting debug info to  dwarf2 (with sets) or stabs.


Btw. The above case likely has a different cause than the breakpoint at 
line 0. So there may be 2 issues.
