I'll be posting the D debugger I've been working on at dsource this week. It'll be a set of debugging libraries that you can build your own debugger with, along with a Debug Engine plug-in for Visual Studio.

I'll post another announcement as soon as it's available.

This is great news!

Cool! I can't wait to see it... Is this for v2.x?

Very nice, sir!

Does the plug-in work for all versions of VS? And is it supposed to work with Visual D?

I hope it is, what we don't need is yet another possibility to code and debug D. VisualD + cv2pdb works very well for me. i hope the two developers are trying to sync both approaches.

It's for D 2. From the beginning I had no intent to make it compatible with D 1.

The Visual Studio plug-in is for 2005, 2008, and 2010. I haven't looked into if it works for earlier versions.

My understanding is that VisualD could easily be made to use this plug-in, instead of the built-in C++ one. It should be a matter of switching the GUID for the Debug Engine used.

Part of the reason I wanted to make this debugger is that using cv2pdb, although a great tool that helped fill a need, means:
1. Relying on the built-in C++ debugger, which means you get a C++ expression evaluator.
2. Using undocumented interfaces.
3. Using Microsoft binaries that might not be redistributable (I'm not completely sure of this).

It would also be great to have Descent integration (crosses fingers)

That sounds really good.

If well executed, this may as well be a huge contribution to D's success.

Which platforms are supported? Linux? OSX? FreeBSD? I hope it isn't Windows-only!
