Hello! I've written a piece of glue code that helps to debug D code using GDB. The code glues together GDB and ddmangle. Checkout the link https://github.com/ANtlord/gdb-ddemangle

PRs are welcome!

You are aware that gdb has built-in support for demangling D for 3-4 years now?

I don't know if Iain got all his patches in, but it demangles a lot of symbols for me already. However, I just started using the new lldb package in Termux, and I do miss it there. Otherwise, lldb is very nice and much more stable for me on 64-bit ARM.

I've been told this too, not so long ago, but actually i still feed GDB output with ddemangle too (for Coedit 'GDB commander' widget).

But how to enable it? It doesn't work out of box at least for me.

It should be automatic when the executable is build with debugging info. `-g`

is there a way to check feature availability? What version gdb should have etc?

I believe you enable it with `-demangle=dlang`

The original announcement is here:  https://forum.dlang.org/post/rvoqllpimfskvlabprot@forum.dlang.org

There are a few posts on the forum with some example usages:  https://forum.dlang.org/search?q=%22demangle%3Ddlang%22&page=1

The problem is that one also needs to process the compiler output in an IDE, so finally it doesn't change anything to anything
