Hi Ian, Here's a first bug. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64. Debugging isn't stepping through the code. Here's a simple example. This is with dmd 2.064.2 and a fresh clone of your git repo. junk2.d: import std.stdio; void main(string args[]) { string ss = "hi there"; writeln(ss); } jlquinn@wyvern:~/mtd/tokenizer$ ~/dmd2/linux/bin64/dmd -g junk2.d jlquinn@wyvern:~/mtd/tokenizer$ ~/d/bin/gdb junk2 GNU gdb (GDB) 7.6.50.20131118-cvs Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
