I was wondering the same as well... But from the lack of answers I think
not much can be done? :/
What are the matters involved? I did get basic debugging sessions
working, but I forgot whether it was dmd or gdc.

If that was under Windows, it must have been GDC then. The debug format that
DMD emits on Windows (OMF for x32 and COFF for x64, if I'm correct) is not
understood by GDB, which I guess only understands DWARF.
GCC is able to emit COFF object code - and GDB can read COFF debug
code - though admitedly COFF is a woeful excuse of an object/debug
file format. :o)

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know GDB could read COFF as well.
My main dev machine is 32 bit (old yeah) so I haven't had yet the chance
to try DMD-64 on Windows. Will probably try it at some point on my desktop.
