[lazarus] Step over/into

+ I have been nagging about this for the last 2 years.
+ I basically use FPK all the time for scientific console program work but
+ is interested in Lazarus due to the possibility of having an integrated
+ debugger in particular stepping over/into.
+ I tried Lazarus again recently and saw that the debugger still does not
+ work.

Hmm...

+ As I mentioned several times in the past, all the people I know in the
+ programming professions want to use Linux/Lazarus/FPK but as soon as
+ they try it and there is no debug, they just drop it.
+
+ Reportedly, Step over/into does work.
+ However, I could never manage to get it working.

Is it possible to place a breakpoint ?

If so, can you step from that ?

If not, what is the output on the View->Debug->Debugoutput window and the
Console

+ If it does, please include the sources and detailed installation of a
+ particular debugger in order that users in need of this can have a
+ chance to verify it.

You need at least a 5.1 gdb, but a 5.3 will do best.

+ Step over/into will add about 1000% of value to
+ Lazarus once it is verified to work.
+ I see it as the single most important missing feature.

As far as I can remember, my current uncommitted changes only concern
expressions. Step and Step into should work.
