Unfortunately you can't make Natvis to understand D symbols as
it's purely for C++. You can make C# extension for Visual
Studio to do pretty much whatever, but that's not usable much
as it doesn't work for VS Code from what I found (and C# are
extremely complex for this matter from my point of view). I
think Visual D is using Mago internally via DLLs or something,
and doing it's own thing.
Something like -gc would be great to have again (I guess I
missed that one), even -gcpp (to pretend it's C++) that can be
used by pretty printing in GDB (fairly simple changes in Python
scripts from printing standard C++ stuff) and Microsoft's
Debugger. So the classes, namespaces, containers, dynamic
arrays can be easily represented with actually having structure
and sense from C++ point of view.
Forgot to mention that Microsoft added partial support (that may
be more than sufficient for D case) to their C/C++ in VS code for
both GDB and LLDB. So this one may be useful to make debugging
more friendly on Linux and Mac as well!
