digitalmars.D - Can't debug dmd binary

Hi folks,

I'm unable to debug binaries built with dmd 2.065.  The platform is
x86-64 Ubuntu 14.04.  This is gdb 7.7.

If I have a simple program:

nodebug.d:

void main() {
  int i;
  i = 3;
}

dmd -g nodebug.d

jlquinn wyvern:~/d$ gdb nodebug

Using dmd -gc doesn't help at all.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

'main` is C main function inside druntime. Your program entry 
point is _Dmain. You may also want to try git master built of gdb 
with Iain Buclaw patches for enhanced D support - those are 
awesome beyond imagination and, among other things, add support 
for D symbol (de)mangling :)

That helps.  I had thought a lot of D support was already in gdb.  I'm
surprised this doesn't work.

Iain, is this fix not in stock gdb yet?
