Thanks for having faith in my words... :o)

...okay. Ignore me!

You said "GCC _is able_ to emit COFF object code", which didn't make it sound like it did, or at least not by default. Which seemed to match my experience (from years ago).

I recall a conversation with Daniel Green about making a special COFF-outputting toolchain for me.

So what debuginfo is in there then? MS link.exe seemed to ignore it.

So, you are saying that GDC does output COFF by default? And is debuggable by gdb?

I'm thoroughly confused now, this seems to contradict past experiences. Apparently I've been smoking a lot of crack...

What are the object+debuginfo formats supported by LDC?
