Am I missing something? I thought this was supposed to be working with the 7.2 release of GDB? Is this working for anyone else? $ cat hello.d import std.stdio; int main(char[][] args) { writeln("hello world\n"); writefln("args.length = %d", args.length); for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) writefln("args[%d] = '%s'", i, cast(char *)args[i]); return 0; } $ dmd -g hello.d $ gdb hello GNU gdb (GDB) 7.2-ubuntu Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Once dmd fixes this, support will still need to be added to GDB, so yes, -gc is the correct solution. -- Robert http://octarineparrot.com/Am I missing something?
