gdwarf really ? this is possible ? Not that this is not a great news but you told me once this was not quite possible (https://forum.dlang.org/post/ttblgcwiwmdhyukzpocb@forum.dlang.org).

I said that LDC/LLVM generate CodeView, but knew that clang can emit it. Shortly after your post, another guy asked for DWARF on Windows, so I did a little bit of digging. I haven't properly tested it (no working gdb/lldb on my Windows box), so feedback is appreciated.

You can get gdb for windows by installing Lazarus or even more simply try one of the  alternative version that they propose [1].

> feedback is appreciated.

I will test the feature soon, since now I want to see if the GDB GUI of my IDE can be activated or not on windows.
