Here is a picture showing that VisualD is broken. It's been like 
this for awhile. Of course, this is just one picture out of many 
possible ones.

Seems like something may have changed in the name mangling. I'm 
going to update dmd. This does not occur with ldc.

Upgrading did not help. Probably a configuration issue on my side 
unless the same thing is happening for others(I did install 
latest beta Visual D the other day, that could have been the 
start).

This is what happens often when using the Visual Studio Debugger with 
type names that contain '.'. It seems to confuse it a lot. That's why 
compilation with -gc replaces '.' with ' ' in the debug information. You 
can enable it in Visual D by selecting debug information "suitable for 
VS debug engine".

I'd recommend trying the new debugger integration with the new beta 
(released on Tuesday) with a recent dmd (2.072 or later). This uses mago 
only for expression evaluation for locations that are actually compiled 
from D sources (visible by showing 'D' in the call stack).

You'll have to configure debug information "suitable for mago", but 
still launch the Visual Studio debugger (by the setting on the 
"Debugging" page).

BTW: what VS version are you using?

Neither suggested solution worked. I am using VS15, VD0.44b2, dmd 
2.073.

I imagine the problem is with symbol resolution. Seems to show 
most things but this seems to fail.
