If you use generate a 32-bit binary using DMD, it generates it
in a format that the C/C++ extension doesn't understand. You
need to compile -m32mscoff or -m64, and you need to make sure
the /DEBUG is passed to the linker, as I don't think dmd
passes it that. You can do that by passing "-L/DEBUG" to DMD
(when using -m32mscoff or -m64). There should be a .pdb file
that gets generated, when you start the debugger it should say
that symbols were loaded for the exe.
I also can't say for certain if debug information is even
generated for the unittests, so that might be something worth
looking into to make sure it does.
I have added this to dub.json:
"dmd-flags":[
"-g", "-m64", "-L/DEBUG"
]
but I don't see a pdb file generated when I build. What am I
doing wrong?
Are you sure it's not dflags? I don't use dub but a quick search
shows there's dflags, but no flags setting.

Also using verbose flag with dub should show you the commands
that are executed for building.
