works on linux now, already worked on Windows, provided you had the debughelp libs installed from Microsoft.

idk about Mac though.

Do I need to use specific linker flags to have this work ?

Also, that's AWESOME !

It slows it down. The most annoying part of it is that it introduces clashes with private aliases introduced for disambiguation. I.e., the mechanism that most conveniently deals with ambiguous symbols is basically defunct because of spurious ambiguous symbol errors.

--export-dynamic if you want function names (now done by default in dmd.conf anyway) and -g if you want file and line numbers; it pulls the info from the debug information.

Emscripten, Qt, and to a lesser extent, NaCl.

On OSX I've used lldb + LDC and stack traces and line numbers are there.
Symbols are not demangled though.

That is what I want to hear.

LDC is not an option for me ATM as only the latest DMD is supported.

OpenCV would be nice.

I use it a lot at work, and every now and then I want to make a small testbed just to try something out. It would be nice to be able to use D for this.

It seems odd no one has ported it yet since... "D is for Data Science" :)

I should add that it would be even nicer to be able to use it for production code, but we target iOS.
