(what about Mac though?)
The sate of debugging on Mac OS X is worse than on Linux. There are a
couple of problems:
* D symbols need to be prefixed with an extra underscore
* The GDB system debugger is very old. It doesn't have the D patches the
upstream GDB has. Apple is using LLDB as the new system debugger
instead, which doesn't have any D patches at all
Ehhh? What's up with Mac OS X and all those outdated operating system
managed installations? (I'm referring to the similar issues with had
with the JVM)
Can't you easily install a newer GDB yourself, outside of Mac OS
management? If it can be done even in Windows (with Cygwin or MSYS),
surely it can in Mac as well, no?
* Line numbers don't work. Probably some issue with incorrect DWARF
generated
What are the implications? Does this mean you canr create a breakpoint
for a given source file line?
