Is this possible? I find myself having to set breakpoints up the callchain and step through every invocation till I find the one that breaks. This is a really bad way to work, but when I fail an assertion in GDB, it just reports "program terminated."

b _d_assert
b _d_assert_msg

(out of my memory)

GDB recognizes both of these and sets the breakpoints, but never actually breaks.

I tried it again in a different context and it worked. Odd. Anyway, thanks for the information.

The reason it worked one time and not the other was because the other time was an exception, not an assertion. How do I break on exceptions?

(ps. is there a guide anywhere to using GDB with D?)
