Hi

Has anyone got a full build and debugging environment working with LDC 0.15.2 and VS2013 for 64bit?

For this test program using DMD compiler in VisualD it all works fine. I can compile,link, and debug.

import std.stdio;

int main(string[] argv)
{
    writeln("Hello D-World!");
    return 0;
}

If I set the compiler to LDC I have to start by running vsvars64.bat first then devenv.exe for it to pick up the correct link.exe (rather than optilink), and I've added C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Lib\x64;H:\Apps\Visual Studio\VC\lib\amd64\ to the "Library Search Path" to ensure it picks up kernel32.lib and LIBCMTD.lib

That got rid of a lot of errors so far, but it's still failing at the last step

Here's buildlog.html output if anyone can help. It seems to be related to the linking somehow. Any help appreciated.

(Separately, can dub work with ldc2 on windows? - I'll ask on a separate thread since it's also giving errors)

To 'fix' that linker error, you have to add "-L/LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO" to the LDC cmdline for debug builds. I have it added to ldc2.conf.

Thanks Johan.

Almost there it seems

Rather unhelpful error now; but it feels close!

OK so a little bit further now.

So if I check "Build and use local phobos" then it dies with #include <errno.h> not found - fair enough, I can understand that.

And if I don't do that

And if I try to do a release version

Aha I think I've found the issue (for anyone else).

LDC indeed produces a running executable called in this case Debug\Console1App.exe_cv which produces a "Hello D-World" when run.

Cv2pdb tries to convert to pdb debugging information but errors out with "no codeview debug entries found."

In release mode, no issues compiling or running.

So how do I get ldc2 to generate this debugging info? "-g" doesn't seem to work.

I'm using 0.15.1 beta 1 and LLVM 3.60

Final post on this subject. Solved it finally.

Set the Properties/Debugger to "Mago". That disables the CV2PDB call, but still allows you to debug within VS (oddly).
