I've used regular windbg64 from windows10 sdk. version 10.0.19041.685

Yes, I did get the regular version to work. But I wanted the preview version. But now it works 😁

With this working, there should be no one saying we don't have good debuggers for Windows.

I tried WinDbg preview a few days ago. I am not really sure, I needed to press the buttons for "step in" "step over"... always three times.
Actually I am not sure whether there is some functional issue or the performance is really bad (high end developer laptop).
Did someone else experience this issue or had maybe a smooth experience?

(Maybe this issue is occurring due to McAfee virus scanner?)

Kind regards

I had a deeper look, actually there is neither a functional nor a performance problem. The debugger steps into DRuntime/photos coding but as the source code is not available, it looks quite strange for beginners.

So far I haven't found out how to add the DRuntime/photos source code to WinDbg.

Kind regards

Hmm, it should just be to add the source dir

Well, and the proper symbols ofc

I am not sure how to do this with WinDbg preview. I can only add single source files. I added from DRuntime the file object.d and from Phobos array.d, but this doesn't help.

I wonder whether somehow it is possible to tell the debugger to not jump into DRuntime/Phobos, because most of the time you are not interested in it.

For now, while trying to debug my application I am ending in pressing the debugger navigations button 15 times before getting into the method I am interested in:

I am not experiencing those problems you are experiencing "unfortunately", so I'm not sure how to help.
