"Either the builtin assert should be configureable so that it triggers a breakpoint before throwing the exception, or there sould be a way to built a custom assert" You can use core.exception.setAssetHandler to override the default assert behavior. This is deprecated, however, because to my knowledge no one has ever used it and because you can't actually return from this handler--you must throw. This is because DMD doesn't generate a valid call stack around the assert call for efficiency reasons.
