What am I missing? I compiled na application with -g flag but when I do:

> gdb --args myapp.exe foo

I get:

because for Windows no DWARF2 debug infos are generated, which are the ones GDB recognize.

By default they are to the CodeView (CV) format for win32, so only cdb can be used.
For win64 and mscoff32 it's yet another format (PDB). People use https://github.com/rainers/mago and https://github.com/rainers/cv2pdb to convert infos in DlangIDE and Visual D.
