Re: dmd 1.041 and 2.026 releases

[John Stoneham]

There is a problem with debug symbols, namely source file paths, generated by 
DMD on OS X. It seems that gdb cannot find any source files when debugging a 
program compiled with DMD's -g (or -gc) switch, with a "no source file named 
[whatever]" error, so setting breakpoints is impossible. GDC on OS X does not 
have this problem. Some googling around has led me to discover that GNU gcc on 
linux (not Apple gcc) also had this problem a few releases ago until it was 
patched, caused by something to do with the pathnames used in the debug symbols 
it generated, though I'm not sure of the technical details.
