Debugging EurekaLog

[Hugo Olsen]

Hi,

I want to debug/single step through the EurekaLog
to find out why I can't send mails.

To be able to debug the code I've found out that
I must set a conditional: DUNIT

After setting this conditional and recompiled, I
was now able to set breakpoints in for example
ExceptionLog.pas, but line number wasn't matching
the source file. There was some kind of offset in
linenumbers. (See attached screen-dump: image_before.png)

After scratching my head for some time, I remembered
I have seen this before. If the lines in a source
file aren't terminated properly by carriage-return/
line-feed but only by line-feeds (as in real operating
systems!), delphi (at least in delphi 5) has this
strange behaviour.

By looking at ExceptionLog.pas with a hex-viewer I
also found some lines that was only terminated by
line-feeds. With a homemade tool I converted
ExceptionLog.pas into a correct CR+LF file, and
recompiled my program. And now it all looked correct
(See attached screen-dump: image_after.png)

Thank you very much for your good feedback Hugo! :)

I have created an automatic tool for fixed all this eventual issues
before compile the final EurekaLog version! ;)
