2.2 RC1 Windows x64 GDB: does no longer generates output in the event log

Original Reporter info from Mantis: d7_2_laz
  • Reporter name: d7_2_laz

Description:

Martin_fr suggested to report this as here as bug,
see https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,55443.0.html

Since 2.2 RC1 the debug helper "OutputDebugString" (windows API) does no longer generates output in the eventlog.
This had been re-added to fpdebug after the rc1. (at least on 64bit win)
Conceerns an easy to use debug helper capability that was usable upfrom Delphi 2 until Lazarus 2.0.12 / Windows, but stopped with 2.2 RC1.

As per Info of Martin_fr gdb.exe assumingly exposes the data to be shown, maybe in the IDE an option is missing to activate that.

Test:
x74 Windows application, code: OutputDebugString(Pchar('This should be shown in the eventlog'));
and check the event log.
