Thanks, my bad I missed that. The entry point I get is a dynamic
link error and the program exits after trying to do a single step
(I've put the asm below).
Since calling `./bin/dfmt` works in the terminal and from lldb in
the terminal I don't see how any linker error makes sense or why
calling it from code lldb should be different.
The only maybe related thing I can think of is that dmd produces
linker error too (below). I have both ldc2 and dmd installed but
dmd doesn't work for me (dmd neither functions if installed with
brew or the install.sh). I had problems with the debugger already
when dmd wasn't installed but RemedyBG debugger has problems with
debugging llvm executables and dmd works so I wanted to try both
here.
I have found that the cpp debugger works to step around which
might be enough for now so I am not wasting more time here if I
don't have to. Thanks for the suggestions though. If you want me
to try something I can do that.
`stopOnEntry` brings me here:
```asm

```
dmd linker error running `dub build --build debug --compiler
dmd`; dub.json has `"lflags": ["-ld_classic", "-v"]` specified
so I don't know why clang suggests to specify `-v`.
