Advanced CPU-View for Lazarus.

Attention - BETA, version!!!

Setup and use:

1. Download FWHexView https://github.com/AlexanderBagel/FWHexView and compile FWHexView.LCL.lpk
2. Open CPUView_D.lpk and install it in the IDE (menu: Package->Install/Uninstall Packages)
3. Rebuild IDE
4. In debug mode select menu "View->Debug Windows->CPU-View" or press Ctrl+Shift+C
5. Enjoy

Known issues:

If during rebuild Lazarus writes "Fatal: Can't find unit dlgCpuViewImplementation used by CpuView.Reg", is necessary:

1. Compile the CPUView_D package again
2. Rebuild the IDE again

The reasons for this error are not yet clear.

Debug Log and Crash Dump:

The debug log is stored in the following path: “lazarus_path\config_lazarus\cpuview\debug.log”.
It is created when the CPU-View dialog is first opened, and contains all logs added during the session (i.e. until Lazarus is finally closed).
The previous session's log is deleted on startup, so if an error occurs, you should save the log file for later analysis.
If an exception occurs, CallStack is saved to the current log.

You can disable logging or crash dump collection in the settings "Tools->Options->Environment->CPU-View".
