  • Ticket #9760 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 Currently, the debugger is primarily oriented towards C/C+++, and as such presumes that the starting function will always be main(). Unfortunately, this isn't necessarily the case for other language ABIs such as {Free}Pascal. In the case of a debug executable, this can potentially be inferred from DWARF (still needs to be investigated in the spec), but a mechanism needs to be investigated in order to generally guess/infer the target language, and consequently, the correct start symbol.
