Now with my patches, you can simply use 'start', and gdb will
stop at the correct place for you.
Wonderful!
BTW: Why can't I do `b main`, `r`, `n` like I'm used to in C,
then?
As I said, `b main` works. It sets a breakpoint at the C main
function.
What if I want to set a breakpoint somewhere deep down in the
call stack and execute to that. Do I always first have to do
`start`and then `continue` to get to my breakpoint.
No, just set your breakpoint at the location you want and then
`run`
There also seems to be a bug in the symbol completion
b std.std TAB complete
but
b std.stdio TAB
shows nothing and
b std.stdio. TAB
shows incorrect results.
For the time being I'd suggest putting quotes around qualified
names.
Eg:
b 'std.std TAB
You have to do it this way because a D-specific expression parser
hasn't been written yet, and the one used for C/C++ doesn't
understand '.' to be a qualified identifier separator. This is
intended to be fixed in the near future.
