Hello. I have some notes regarding the expression results.

Multiline strings are impossible to parse. Consider this example

char[] str="line 1\n line \" more";

In ddbg
= str
will look something like this

->= str
"line1
 line " more"

so the end could not be determined.
Also char ch=255; results "4invalid utf8 sequence" in the results.
I suggest the type of the variable to be indicated in the output with one letter including the string length. Then the chars could be printed as decimal/hex value and if they are valid utf8 the symbol itself could be printed too.

no, i would rather printed in the non-utf8 form. since most locale
doesn't use utf8 and seeing their decimal/hex value is nonsense in
most case of a string.
I would appreciate another command to show it in ur way

The above string could be shown by ddbg as:

"line 1\n line \" more"

I mean hex for chars not for strings. For strings maybe enitities...

...which is what the next release will be doing.

i'll add a command to switch between utf8 and ascii output. i think that it's okay to have utf8 by default, since it's the default for D too.

the next release will ouput single characters (char, wchar and dchar) as
hex numbers.
