Hi everyone,

I think announcing a new Mono-D release on all operating systems
over here might be handy, as I redently wasn't able to figure out
how to build a version that is compatible to the stable MD's API,
which led me to a phase of striking against releasing a new one
on windows..but anyway, now I found a way to get it fixed, and
here it is:

http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/repo/MonoDevelop.D_0.5.4.1.mpack

There's a working GDB addin for Mono-D under Linux/Mac(?) now:
https://github.com/llucenic/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb.D

Are there any plans/tricks/hacks on how to get programs built
with dmd debuggable with gdb? Then we also could release the
addin for Windows as well!
(Afaik I asked the same question some time ago, but well, perhaps
something did change over the time :-))



Cheers,
Alex

_very_ glad to hear that. Thanks for your work!

Can't guarantee anything! I've just work-arounded that IReferenceContext-missing exception, but as this was like the only change in the near past I hope it'll be runnable again.

Tried it with 4.0.12 - it failed to open even a D file, but I
already patched it, so it hopefully works with 4.0.12 "stable"
(Arch/Ubuntu), 4.0.13 (Windows/Mac) and 4.0.17 (git master) now.
Let's pray that they won't experiment with their API another
time..

BTW:
MonoDevelop is broken on Gnome 3.10 now. They changed something
in gnome-terminal and now MonoDevelop can't open the terminal
anymore :-( Disabling the external console should work but MonoDevelop
seems to ignore that option.

Workaround: https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/pull/414

Okay, nice, I'll put a new build on
http://simendsjo.me/files/abothe/
as soon as it's been taken into master.

I was wondering the same as well... But from the lack of answers I think not much can be done? :/

Well I do debug `dmd -gc` programs with gdb relatively frequently. What exactly is of interest?

What are the matters involved? I did get basic debugging sessions working, but I forgot whether it was dmd or gdc.

on OSX, lldb has better support than gdb.
