While DDT technically work oks with GDB (the GDB from mingw-w64
that is), you are right, there isn't a compiler on Windows that
supplies debug info in the way GDB understands. See
https://wiki.dlang.org/Debuggers.
DMD produces debug info COFF or OMF format, which GDB doesn't
know anything about (nor ever will). LDC should in theory work
with DWARF info, but this is broken somehow. Not because of
LLVM though, since for example Rust on Windows works. As for
GDC, it doesn't even supply binaries for Windows (that target
Windows) - it is not a supported platform.
BTW, Eclipse/DDT should in theory work with mago-mi as well, at
least if the protocol is implemented correctly. Have you tried
it? I dunno how complete your MI implementation is.
mago-mi v0.2.1 is released.
Precompiled binaries are available in DlangIDE release bundle.
https://github.com/buggins/dlangide/releases/tag/v0.6.5
Added support for a lot of GDB/MI commands.
Compatibility with GDB fixed.
Tested with Eclipse/DDT.
You can build dmd/x86 project in Eclipse/DDT, start debugging,
use breakpoints, step in/out/over, see threads, stack frames,
variables.
Just change Debug Configuration / Debugger setting - from GDB to
mago-mi
