Hi,
I've created a gdb fork on github and will be giving d-lang support some love
- with the intention of pushing patches back to gdb development as soon as
possible. The bulk of the work will be done over the next fortnight, but for
some other work (see buglink) will take a couple more months to roll out as
changes on both gdb and compilers need to be aligned up.

If anybody is interesting in helping out. Would be great to get people
developing, testing, and sending suggestions for features/fixes on it.
Especially users of dmd/ldc to jump on board to ensure that changes done don't
break the existing support that you may have.
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);
}
Hi Jerry,
I believe dmd is only compatible with gdb 7.5. Likewise gdc-4.7 is
compatible with 7.5, but not 7.6 (you should use gdc-4.8 or the
development branch if you want gdb to work properly).
For dmd, someone needs to fix dmd to work with gdb-7.6.
This level of if this then thating with versions is pretty painful. It's something we've got to get
past somehow (yeah, there's a chicken/egg issue). It's this sort of area where things don't "just
work" that puts off developers.
