Hi,Can somebody update me on how the compiler/debugger implementations are going on the 3 main platforms? What are you using, which is the most useful for D applications? To my knowledge, the situation is like this: * Windows: DMD-> producing CodeView debug info format. -> No GDB support. Old version of WinDBG is in the D bundle. GDC ? * Linux: DMD/GDC-> producing DWARF debug info format -> Very limited GDB support as GDB has no explicit D support. How does that work with the C style debug info? Is both GDC and DMD reliable on producing correct debug info? * Mac: I have no experience on this platform but the situation must be something similar to Linux. 32/64bit: Are there any limitation if the executable is 64bit?
GDB and DWARF is used on Mac OS X as well. 32/64bit is not a problem on Mac OS X, almost all libraries and tools are available in both 32 and 64bit variants.
