Hey people, I haven't checked in for a while, I'm yet again tempted to use D for a small work thing, but I'll need LDC for it, and debuginfo needs to work or it's a non-starter.

Does anyone know where that stuff stands? What are the limits? Last I checked, some MS guys were personally introducing full debuginfo to LLVM, but I'm not sure if they progressed, or if that work is available in LDC?

Cheers.

Google tells me that at least LLVM should support it[1]. Dunno about the rest of LDC.

Cheers, Jakob.

I'd love to know what "mostly complete" means :)

We support CodeView, to what extent I don't know.

https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/master/tests/debuginfo/vector_cdb.d
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/blob/master/tests/debuginfo/strings_cdb.d

just try it and see if it is up to your needs!

$ldc2 -g main.d -of=main.exe
$cv . main.exe
