Hi all,

I've tried several approaches to debugging D programs (VS2003, WinDBG), and none worked well.

Is there some decent debugger for D?
Can I use the DM IDDE for debugging D programs?

I suppose the C++ and D compiler generate the same object format, so the IDDE will probably work for both languages, but I simply did not find this question answered.

thanks,
Karl

Thanks,

but I went through all this already.

Some approaches work partly (both VS2003 and WinDBG), but none gives really decent debugging support (setting breakpoints in code, not by function address).

Yea, thats pretty much all you get.  Its a sore spot with most of us D advocates, but we've learned to do w/o.

However GDC works with GDB 100% with a patch you can apply ,  if debugging is crucial.

Thanks, Charles

I already found the GDB patch, but didn't try it yet.

My original question is still unanswered: does the DM IDDE debugger support D?

If yes, I would immediately purchase the CD.
