Hello,


Is there any IDE which allows debugging D apps on OSX?
I'm trying Mono-D, but getting error
   "Debugger operation failed A syntax error in expression, near 'sizeof(void*)'"

GDB is installed using homebrew. Probably, something is wrong with my gdb. When I'm trying to start debugging using console GDB interface - it fails with message about unsigned application. Is there any instruction how to get GDB working on OSX?

Code completion and symbol lookups neither do not work on Mono-D / OSX.
Does anyone managed to get it working?


Best regards,
    Vadim

On recent versions of OSX, Apple has by default made it so that all applications must be signed by default. You can disable this behavior through system settings and security.
I suspect this is what is stopping it.

Alternatively use LLDB shipped with Xcode. But that won't of course have the D support that GDB has. Although I don't know if that works for OS X.

Thank you! Let me try that.

Changing of system settings, creation of certificate and signing of GDB executable helped to get gdb debugging working when running from command line.
But debugging from Mono-D still fails with the same error.

Mono-D adds -i=mi parameter to debugger command line so it looks like it supports only GDB.

Yes, DDT ( http://ddt-ide.github.io/ ) supports debugging on OSX, using GDB, but you have to install it with homebrew. If you have done it already, then it should work, but check this article as well: http://ntraft.com/installing-gdb-on-os-x-mavericks/
