[DUG] I broke the D2006 debugger

[John Bird]

I wasn't sure how to close it (did it via browser), but I added a comment I
regard it as closed - except I suggested that the IDE should either not
allow breakpoints to be entered if debug compile is turned off, or warn if
they are there.

Otherwise people like me who don't know will be completely mystified, even
if its obvious to others.  Remember the days before you knew really really
obvious things - someone had to teach you them.  I still remember my first
day on a computer keyboard when someone told me to press Control/Z, and I
said "What is this Control thing?" now it seems obvious but it sure as hell
wasn't then.  And the IDE in this case didn't help with any hint....

In the end I solved it by taking the hint about blue dots missing and
googling "delphi blue dots missing when compile" and it gave lots of
references about search paths (which wasn't the problem) and stray dcu's
(which also wasn't) and one reference among dozens about compiler option -D
and +D (which sort of was).

He can withdraw it. I was going to close it but I think it would be better
if it was withdrawn.

Not sure if you used a windows client or the webclient to create it. Don't
know if you can withdraw reports using the webclient. Probably can.
