I did a few quick tests using various data types and even property values
of a class instance - it indeed seems like the most reliable way to debug
using FPC. :)


** Friendly tip to Lazarus core developers **
Maybe change the Watches debug window to rather load up the debugserver
instead - it seems a lot more useful and most importantly, reliable.  Maybe
you guys should even add a code tools template and hook it up to the
keyboard shortcut used for "add watch at cursor" to rather inject a new
source line SendDebugFmt() instead. I've already done the latter part via
code templates, as show below - please consider adding these as default
code templates.


-------------[ lazarus.dci ]-------------------
...
[sdf | SendDebugFmt]
$(AttributesStart)
EnableMakros=true
AutoOnSpace=true
RemoveChar=true
$(AttributesEnd)
SendDebugFmt('$Paste() = %|', [$Paste()]);
[sd | SendDebug]
$(AttributesStart)
EnableMakros=true
AutoOnSpace=true
RemoveChar=true
$(AttributesEnd)
SendDebug($Paste());
----------------------------
