If I use scope(failure) with code that should be run if an exception is 
thrown, how can I set a breakpoint for this code in the debugger?

I'm not 100% sure but I expect: scope(failure) someCode(); putting a breakpoint on someCode should work. -Steve

When calling a function an then setting the breakpoint there, like in someCode() yes, that should work. I used code like this: scope(failure) { ... several lines of code } And for this it seems (maybe I need to check in more detail) that in MSVC, I can set a breakpoint, but the breakpoint is not triggered when an exception is thrown. -- Robert M.

Seems like the debugger not understanding D source in that case. What you could try is: void breakOnThis() { return; // breakpoint here } scope(failure) { breakOnThis(); ... } and then see where it goes when you step out of that function. -Steve
