  Hi,

  could you please specify:
- the OS you are using?
- the exact compilation parameters.

  I figured from the text above that the cpu is x86_64,
I tried your code both on win64 and linux, and did not see your
problem.

  Your problem might originate from options present
in your free pascal compiler configuration files,
thus the best would be to find explicit command line parameters
that trigger your problem using the -n option,
which prevents reading of any configuration file.

  Note that you will need to explicitly add location of compiled RTL units
using:
  -Fu/full/path/to/compiled/rtl/units/
of course after substitution.

  Please report impacted OS and
provide full command line options with -n
that reproduces your problem.

Thanks in advance,

Benito van der Zander

  Bug confirmed, and tracked down partially:

  revert rtl/inc/lnfodwf.pp to revision 33227,
i.e. before a series of additions to handle more dwarf debug
information, fixes this crash.

  I will ask Florian, you wrote all commits to this file
since that revision to take a look.

Using explicitly the heaptrc unit is no supported. Compile with -gh instead and everything works fine.

But the uses clause is the recommended usage:

http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/heaptrc/usage.html

And with -gh you cannot make a copy of the unit to change the constants. I use heaptrc with tracesize set to 48

 That's probably a documentation issue where obviously the documentation contradicts itself.
But anyway you can make changes to a copy of heaptrc and make sure it is in your project directory and perform a build all. -B

What I really don't like is that you intentionally change code there and then start complaining... You should not do that. That's a whole different kind of bug report.

In your case you should start with: I changed the heaptrc unit to accommodate a depth of 48 and now it no longer works....
It is rather far fetched to assume devs can debug a changed unit for you. That's beginners error and you know better. (I make the same irritating beginners errors, btw)

And btw: with -B -gh the correct -your heaptrc- unit will be compiled in.

I do not use the modified unit right now, because it is too slow.

It is, I use uses heaptrc; till there is a leak, then I change it to uses heaptrc48; to fix the leak, and then change it back

Those are 3.0.0 docs, you are using 3.1.1.

Decoding dwarf debugging info efficiently requires a working heap manager and this means that heaptrc needs to be loaded before the the dwarf line info decoding unit which is loaded by -gl, so heaptrc cannot be used explicitly.

Docs need to be changed for the 3.2 series to reflect this.

Docs for 3.0.2 already reflect this. If you use heaptrc directly, all kinds of strange things will happen.
