DIDE needs an integrated debugger. If you want to find out how to make this then maybe have a look at how Dev-C++ does it. Its open source.

Dev-C++ simply runs the GNU command-line debugger (GDB) over an application, and parses its output, as well as converts user input into GDB commands, by intersepting a console interface.

The problem is, it is not possible to use GDB on DigitalMars generated executables. Nor do i know any other command-line debugger which can deal with DigitalMars executables.

Something like OpenWatcom visual debugger (BTW, excellent debugger!) might work, but it need not be integrated into IDE.

That's what I get for generating standard windows PE executables!

Ur, what's wrong with those geneated by MinGW version of LD?
Besides, GCC uses MS-compatible COFF for .obj files.

I believe the problem that with all those debugging information formats, it doesn't support CodeView. I don't see how hard it would be to add such support.

I've never looked at them.

The debugger never sees .obj files <g>.

DMD puts out codeview information. It works with Microsoft's codeview
debugger (windbg.exe).

Yea , Ill add an option to run it through windbg , I couldnt 'integrate' though , other than providing a shortcut to it.
