          Issue ID: 16077
           Summary: [CodeView] no language information in MS-COFF debug
                    information
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: r.sagitario gmx.de

The codeview debug information generated by dmd for MS-COFF does not contain
any language information which could be used by a debugger to select the
expression evaluator.

This can be implemeted by adding a S_COMPILE record.

The OMF debug information contains this record, but only pretends to be C/C++.
