digitalmars.D.learn - break on assertion in GDB?

reply "Vlad Levenfeld" <vlevenfeld gmail.com> writes:
Is this possible? I find myself having to set breakpoints up the 
callchain and step through every invocation till I find the one 
that breaks. This is a really bad way to work, but when I fail an 
assertion in GDB, it just reports "program terminated."

GDB recognizes both of these and sets the breakpoints, but never 
actually breaks.

I tried it again in a different context and it worked. Odd. 
Anyway, thanks for the information.

The reason it worked one time and not the other was because the 
other time was an exception, not an assertion. How do I break on 
exceptions?

(ps. is there a guide anywhere to using GDB with D?)
