** Description changed:
- [ Impact ]
+ [Impact]
* GDB 10.0 introduced a regression where it cannot inspect any global
variables in any D programs compiled by any D compiler.
* LDC2 and GDC upstream stated Focal does not have such a problem and stuck
to this release for their test images.
- [ Test Plan ]
+ [Test Plan]
Considering the following D program:
```
module t;
class uv {
int i;
}
__gshared uv i;
int main() {
i = new uv();
return 0; // #break
}
```
If you build it using `gdc -g -O0 t.d -o t` or `ldc2 -o t.o t.d -g`, run
the GDB using the following commands ...
```
b t.d:10
p t.i
```
... you will notice GDB will complain that "'t.i' has unknown type; cast
it to its declared type."
- [ Where problems could occur ]
+ [Where problems could occur]
* The fix consists of a single line change to the demangler. The worst-case
scenario would be breaking the demangling functionality of other programming
languages. However, the newer D ABI uses a symbol mangling scheme that is very
difficult to confuse with other programming languages.
* Incorrect symbol de-mangling may also cause user confusion. However, the
patch fixed a fundamental usability issue.
