Short question:

Would it be possible to get WinDbg to do source debugging for D?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/source-window

What would it take? Possible at all?

You should already given that dmd produces the .pdb file when generating debugging symbols for windows.

1.Open .exe file
2.Open .d source file
3.Set breakpoint in source (F9)
4.Go

Catching excepions:
-for dmd -m64 or -m32mscoff builds >bp _d_throwc
-for ldc -g builds >bp d_throw_exception

Break @start

Really? 😱

I thought it couldn't track the sources. Nice

But... But... But... If that's already the case, why care people complaining about missing debuggers? 💭

For me, when I try to open I just get an empty window with app.d in it

If I rename it to .cpp it opens, but doesn't work (obviously).

What am I doing wrong? :(

Hmm.. I kind of got it working in the normal version of windbg, but not in the WinDbg Preview version which is what I want. Anyone got that working?

Ok, I'm using the "old" WinDbg for now

UPDATE
It was the debugging client and debugger engine that was outdated.

And going to the MS store and doing "update" did not update it.
I had to uninstall WinDbg Preview and then install it again to update it.

The previous version that didn't work was:
Client: 1.0.2007.06001
Engine: 10.0.20153.1000

And the new version that works is:
Client: 1.2103.01004.0
Engine: 10.0.21306.1007
