Hi there!

Is there a debugger you would recommend that understands D 
(demangling, etc) which runs under OS X? (or otherwise...)

What are you using? A patched gdb? a normal gdb? Any llvm 
version? (sometimes it seems not to recognize stack frames in my 
D code) Or just writeln?

Thanks!

I use gdb and most of the time the mangling is easy to understand, if
not I send it through the commandline-tool "ddemangle".
Also kdevelop as an amazing gdb integration which works with D! Hover
variables, showing content, browesable variables in ever stackframe,
really worth a try!

A brief article on that would be really cool. Or at least 
something in the wiki.

I've been using cgdb on Mac OS which is gdb but with a curses ui. 
On Linux I use DDD but its not ideal as it looks terrible and 
crashes etc. I've also tried something called affinic debugger on 
Mac OS but again it's just a ui on gdb and is slow.

D could do with someone spending a bit of time polishing up a 
preferred debugger currently one doesn't really exist.
