- Chris Newton (3/16) Dec 29 2004 Ahh. That would make sense. :)
I've tried to debug my D code in Windows using Insight with no success. D2Debugger looks awesome, but it isn't available yet...Are there any currently-available free debuggers that work well with D?

In article <cqt0cs$2ft5$1 digitaldaemon.com>, redshoan gmail.com says...Just use gdb like you would for any other program. The only problem is when gdb needs to look at symbols. You have to specify the fully mangled name. For example this is the mangled name for std.ctype.toupper(): _D3std5ctype7toupperFwZw So if you are going to set a breakpoint, do break and hit tab a lot. I believe the symbols always start with _D. And the numbers between module/package names seem to be the order of linkage (or something like that). You can track it down, its just a little annoying because gdb doesnt understand how to unmangle D names so it cant map it to the source files. But because D is linked by the system linker (nothing magic there) gdb can work on all the known symbols. Hope that helps.

"Asaf Karagila" <kas1 netvision.net.il> if your assembly is good enough, i recommend Olly Debugger. it's free, it's friendly (as much a native debugger can be :)) and it's nice. - Asaf.
