Sweet! Now I am 'forced' to download C::B... ;) ('Never had time' to do that until now.)

I get an error when trying to use it within Code::Blocks. Here is the debugger log: Command-line: C:\ddbg\ddbg_gdb.exe -nx -fullname -quiet -args bin/Debug/test.exe Working dir : c:\programming\codeblocks\test\
 set prompt >>>>>>cb_gdb:
Error: Empty CodeView data

Sorry, but you are wrong. That was the first thing I checked. I did it again to make sure, and here is the build log: Build started on: 23-02-2007 at 15:45.20 Build ended on: 23-02-2007 at 15:45.20 -------------- Build: Debug in test --------------- dmd.exe -g -debug -IC:\dmd\src\phobos -c hello.d -ofobj\Debug\hello.obj dmd.exe bin\Debug\test.exe obj\Debug\hello.obj phobos.lib C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe obj\Debug\hello,bin\Debug\test.exe,,phobos.lib+user32+kernel32/noi; Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 0 seconds) 0 errors, 0 warnings

Maybe it's because the default phobos.lib doesn't include debug symbols?

since C::B calls the linker separately, you need to also give the -g for
the link call.
you can do this by adding "-g" in your project's build options > linker
settings > other linker options

Note to Code::Blocks users: When building D programs from the CB IDE, you need to pass the -g parameter to DMD not just in the compilation phase, but in the link phase as well. Since with DMD, dmd.exe is the linker as well, you have to set the following options either in the project's build options or in the global "Compiler and debugger" settings: 1) Compiler settings -> Compiler flags -> check "add symbolic debug info [-g]" (and, optionally, "compile in debug code [-debug]) 2) Linker settings -> Other linker options - add "-g". Now, just set the debugger in Compiler settings -> Toolchain executables to ddbg_gdb.exe, and you should be able to debug your programs :) -- Best regards, Vladimir mailto:thecybershadow gmail.com

Yep. That does it. I'd call that a defect in the default D project settings for Code::Blocks. Thanks.

You can report any bugs with Code::Blocks on BerliOS at: https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=5358 It can also be discussed on http://forums.codeblocks.org/ I'll be looking at ssues with D or Mac, when time allows. --anders

It didn't seem to work for me when I put it in the global settings. I had to put it in the project settings. (Maybe because the default D project wizard overrides the setting?) Regardless, I think it needs to be fixed in the default project. If you put it in the global settings it applies to all build versions and not just Debug. --bb

Most programmers don't know what Codeview is (since it's a very old format). How about changing the message to: Error: No symbolic debug info present, try compiling with -g ?

Yeah, I'm going to try this again. I've looked at Codeblocks before, but I think it was too buggy. Maybe it's improved now. Between this and eclipse/descent, things are looking good for D in this area. -JJR

Yes, manually compile the code with dmd work fine. So I downloaded the 
newer 2/24 build
from codeblock web site. Now it works great thank for the debugger I 
been waiting for this for awhile now.
