After main() of my program finishes, I have this error message:

core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError@core/exception.d(700): Invalid memory operation

Which debugger (preferably with a GUI interface) do you suggest to investigate this error?

I tried DDD and KDbg.

In DDD when I set `catch throw InvalidMemoryOperationError` or `catch throw core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError`, the exception is not called nevertheless.

In KDbg, I don't see any way to set an exception breakpoint, at all.

I use LDC2.

Which operating system do you use? And which compiler version?
Is this maybe another occurrence of
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2820
?

If so, do you have a usable minimal example of your code to post and try it out?

No, for me my bug is worse than #2820: I do not see any stack trace. I do not claim that there is a bug in a compiler (actually I am almost sure that it is my mistake and I do something like freeing memory twice).

I need help to get a stack trace for the very reason that I do not want to spend time producing a minimal example, but want to use a debugger instead.

Ubuntu Linux 18.10.

$ ldc2 --version
LDC - the LLVM D compiler (1.11.0):
  based on DMD v2.081.2 and LLVM 6.0.1

I've tried it with plain GDB 8.2.

The following does not work:

catch throw InvalidMemoryOperationError
catch throw core.exception.InvalidMemoryOperationError

Despite of the above commands, the exception is not caught and so I am unable to see the callstack which has led to the exception.

Please help me to find a way to see the callstack in order to be able to debug my software!

You might want to set a breakpoint on function onInvalidMemoryOperationError. Probably this is the function that is throwing the error.

Debugging experience will likely improve if you build the runtime library with debug information. (see https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_under_Posix).

He's using LDC, so he'll just need to specify `-link-defaultlib-debug` in the LDC command line.
