This folder contains a MODIFIED GDB 9.2 version for the use with Lazarus 2.2 (and up) for windows 64 bit.

This version of GDB has special modifications to better support unicode on Windows. It is based on the 9.2 release.

It may to work with older Lazarus versions, as long as no unicode used in filenames, environment, arguments. However, there is no benefit in using it with older Lazarus versions, and that combination might give a worse experience than using a none modified gdb build.
