digitalmars.D.announce - Zeus GDB Dlang Support

Some time ago, a problem reported showed Zeus would fail to debug 
D code when using the GDB debugger. That issue related to the 
fact the version of GDB shipped with Zeus was outdated.

The latest release of Zeus now ships with the version 14.1 of GDB.

That means Zeus and GDB should now work with the D compiler, 
provided it produces DWARF symbolic information. The link below 
describes how the LDC compiler can be used to debug a D program 
using Zeus:

NOTE: The Zeus debugger should also work with any compiler that 
can produces DWARF symbolic information as this comes down to 
what symbolic information is supported by GDB. One final note, 
Zeus is shareware and it is designed to run on the Windows 
platform.

The above is your information on how to configure Zeus for D and 
is woefully out of date, and I don't just mean when it was 
posted. Check the info in that page to the various pieces of D 
infrastructure you suggest using! Not encouraging.
