          Issue ID: 17460
           Summary: Debugger: registers don't work in expression
                    evaluation
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: visuald

When debugging C++, you can use registers in the watch windows in expressions.

ie: (char*)rax   -> "hello"   (if rax is a pointer to a string for example)

When debugging D code, the expression evaluation engine is changed, and the
registers don't work.

Can the D debugger also evaluate registers in expressions?
