I tried the gdb debuger with the hello.d from the D samples, it gives "unrecognized format" or something like that. is it possible to use gdb with dmd and the dm linker on windows? Ant |

Posted in reply to Ant | I assume you're using cygwin or maybe mingw? I think someone else has tried using dmd with cygwin though I can't remember exactly.

Check out the d.gnu >newsgroup does it means it doesn't work with dmd? I'm trying to avoid installing gcc on windows. I'm trying to have my D windows environment on my 128M USB flash memory thing - so far it's more than enough; including the GTK+ libs. Ant |

Right. > is it possible to use gdb with dmd and the dm linker on windows? No, it shouldn't. DMD only has one debug information format (CodeView), which is not among what gdb knows. CodeView format has changed a number of times, thus a fairly large MS library is requiered to process it uniformly. You can rip dbgeng.dll, dbghelp.dll and cdb.exe from Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows NT/2000/XP to get a command-line debugger, about 3 megabytes total. -eye |

The version of DMD I'm currently working on does a lot better job of putting out Codeview 4 symbolic debug info. Windbg.exe works fine with it. I'm also trying to figure out the dwarf2 format so that we can at least get line numbers for elf debugging. |
