I recall it being 7.2, but it's been a while since I tried D with gdb, so I don't know. And it may have improved quite a bit since the last time I tried (it's probably been well over a year now since I tried it with anything other than tracking down a segfault). Part of my problem is that I'm so used to using printf debugging now that I don't even think about using a proper debugger even when I should. I usually only end up using a debugger when I have no other choice (which is not the best of habits). > If you are a gdc 4.8 user of course, you would have gdb 7.5 at least (as it > doesn't work with earlier gdb versions).

I'll have to make sure that I check it out some time soon. - Jonathan M Davis
