[Lazarus] Need testers for the a new debugger

[Martin Frb]

Why do you want to pass the record instead of the pointer?

The pointer is valid during the entire call (inside Append).

Append does not store the pointer, but a copy of the data. So this is save.


Passing the pointer saves the need to pass the entire record by value 
(or in other word, to make a mem copy (or registers) of the entire 
record) when passing to the function.
Which would meant that the data would be copied twice, as it is once 
copied in inside the Append function anyway.

The param could be const/constref instead of pointer. But as the 
argument is already pointer, why?

Please mail how to get the mem leak, and why this fixes it.
