I'm probably just being ignorant, but I can't figure out where the debug info generated by the -g switch is at. All I've ever used for debugging before is pdb files, so if thats not what the D compiler uses, how do I debug my program? platform is windows. Thanks. Chris

As far as i know, DMD does not build pdb files. you can still use visual studio to debug your programs, but it means you want be able to view class member variables or complicated types. there are some hacks you can use to view a string for example type this in the watch window: (char*)(MyString >> 32) In article <c2g229$209$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Chris Lajoie says...I'm probably just being ignorant, but I can't figure out where the debug info generated by the -g switch is at.

cambarbosa uol.com.br Hi Chris, Please, do you know how I can see struct and class field in the watch window of MSVC debug?

WinDbg (and Visual Studio too, I think) use a pdb file to know things about variables. That's all I know, because when I've tried to get variables in WinDbg it asks for a pdb file, and since there's none, then I don't get variables in the debugger. So the question would be if DMD could generate that pdb file. ----------------------- Carlos Santander Bernal

I was thinking I might write a D wrapping to it sometime, but I guess it's at the end of a *long* list of ToDos. Maybe someone else might have a go?"Walter" <newshound digitalmars.com> escribió en el mensaje news:cdimou$19m3$1 digitaldaemon.com | "Chris Lajoie" <ctlajoie hotmail.com> wrote in message | news:c2g229$209$1 digitaldaemon.com... || I'm probably just being ignorant, but I can't figure out where thedebug|| info generated by the -g switch is at.
