What's the point of DMD's -gc flag?  What does it do differently from -g and why would that be preferred to -g?

it makes DMD emit C debugging data (it clames ot be c) and it's so that d can be debued with a C debugger.

So basically you'd only want that if you aren't using a real D-supporting debugger like zerobugs or ddbg?

It seems to be the flag of choice for Linuxy folks, so I guess that's because they use gdb for debugging?
