Stepping through loops works now, but the counter variable does not get updated in the list of watches.  Wait...<tests further> that's not exactly true.

It doesn't get updated in this situation:

    // during first loop it's ok
    for (int i = 0; i< s.blip.length; i++) {
        s.blip[i] = i;
    }
    // but here i doesn't get updated in watch window
    for (int i = 0; i< s.blip.length; i++) {
        s.blip[i] = i*2;
    }

Declared outside of the for scope, it's ok:
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i< s.blip.length; i++) {
        s.blip[i] = i;
    }
    for (i = 0; i< s.blip.length; i++) {
        s.blip[i] = i*2;
    }



Also inout values seem to show up as void*.  Is there a way to cast a variable in CodeBlocks' watch list?  I tried  (int*)myptr but CB says "invalid expression".  I also tried cast(int*)myptr, not really expecting that to work, but hoping, and it didn't work either.

Setting the program arguments in codeblocks doesn't seem to work right.

The program arguments just don't seem to get passed in to the debugger.

the problem is the second declaration of i within the same frame. i'll take care of it. until then try using different counter names to work around this.

inout's are being marked void* by DMD, a codeview issue to be added to arrays and enums.

Ddbg's expressions don't support casts, yet. but since casts are a good workaround to DMD's codeview issues i'll have them in the next release. currently the expression syntax is:

Expr  = Ident
       | Ident OExpr
OExpr = . Expr
       | [ Args ] OExpr
Args  = Slice | Lit | Expr
Slice = SlArg .. SlArg
SlArg = Lit | Expr
Lit   = Int | Float | Str | Char | $

Here is my first shot at extending the syntax to include casts.
You should be able to do things like
cast(char[])(cast(mystruct*)foo.bar).strtable[key]
with it.
Any comments?

Expr                 = RefChain | Cast RefChain
RefChain             = ExprElem | ExprElem RefExpr
ExprElem             = Ident | '(' Expr ')'
RefExpr              = '.' ExprChain | '[' Args ']' RefExpr

Cast                 = 'cast' '(' Type ')'
Type                 = BasicType | BasicType QuantList
QuantList            = Quantifier | Quantifier QuanList
Quantifier   	     = '*' | '[' ']' | '[' Type ']'
BasicType            = 'void' | 'bool' | 'byte' | 'ubyte' | 'char'
                     | ... all the others ...

Args                 = Slice | Lit | Expr
Slice                = SlArg '..' SlArg
SlArg                = Lit | Expr
Lit                  = Int | Float | Str | Char | '$'

import std.stdio;

void main(char[][] args)
{
	try
	{
		throw new Exception("Hello");
	}
	catch(Exception e)
	{
		writefln(e.msg);
	}
}

Ddbg breaks with an 'unhandled exception' here, even though the exception is handled!

sure you used 0.0.3? it doesn't break when i try that...

Oops, sorry, ignore me. Turns out I can't count to 0.0.3.
