The problem is that dmd produces dwarf debug info according to the dwarf
spec. When gdb fails, I have no clue why, and nobody has ever been able
to figure out just *what* in the dwarf info is causing gdb to fail.
Some problems were identified a few months back, and those were fixed
(evidently gdb cannot handle module records, and gdb also relied on some
undocumented stuff).
If anyone wants to peruse the gdb source and figure out exactly *what*
it is choking on, that would be most appreciated.
Done. I've attached a patch to
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3987 which seems to fix
the issue. The problem was incorrect debug information being created for
function pointers, it seems there shouldn't be a type for both the
function and the pointer to it.
