There is a mention of "fully qualified" here: https://forum.dlang.org/post/peb1jj$tr$1@digitalmars.com
But what does that mean?
I tried this:
But it doesn't work

Posted in reply to ryuukk_ | Anyone got an idea? Executable built with : On Visual Studio with the visuald addon i can debug the executable and inspect the globals On VSCode i can debug the executable and inspect locals, but not globals What does visuald does under the hood to be able to inspect globals? No, i don't want to use the slow and bloated multi gigabytes Visual Studio just to inspect a variable I'm starting to loose hope | |||

Posted in reply to ryuukk_ | If anyone know what is the problem exactly, then please speak up, this problem needs to be reported to the right place fixed so it can be fixed, all languages i tested don't have this issue (c, rust, zig, odin) D is not a toy language, let's take this issue seriously, shall we? or is it?.. | |||

On IRC earlier today
```
[6:43:29 pm] <WebFreak[m]> nope, I haven't gotten globals to work in debugger before
[6:43:33 pm] <WebFreak[m]> I don't think they are emitted
[6:44:02 pm] <WebFreak[m]> on linux I think it might work with CodeLLDB, depending on what compiler you used to compile the executable
```
I asked about mode details (who didn't emit what?) and where to report the issue, so far question left unanswered
My list of "gripes and wishes" grows larger and larger everyday

Posted in reply to ryuukk_ | To clarify, i tested both dmd/ldc, they both doesn't work on windows To clarify even more: I am a mere user who wants to debug its program on windows using vscode's debugger wich uses msvc I can debug a c/rust/zig executable without issue and see globals The problem only happens with dmd/ldc Is it broken by design for decade and nothing should and could be done about it? Is the only solution to inspect a global variable is to use visual studio and install visuald plugin? If i tell you what i'm trying to debug i bet you'll laugh (loading dll compiled using dmd), but that's a story for another day, 1 frustration a day is plenty | |||

Posted in reply to ryuukk_ | Two questions for the D team: Does globals have a special syntax? as you can see above i also tried the mangled name inside the PDB (using hex viewer https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex) Walter, how do you debug your programs written in D? | |||

Posted in reply to ryuukk_ | Fore more clarity, all syntax i have tried: ``` type_to_tiledef kshared.defs.type_to_tiledef _D7kshared4defs15type_to_tiledef kshared:defs:type_to_tiledef kshared::defs::type_to_tiledef kshared->defs->type_to_tiledef ``` | |||

Posted in reply to ryuukk_ | I've now waste an entire day trying to figure out what's wrong, perhaps trusted D for my projects was a bad idea, i now look like a fool | |||
