Thanks for your answer.
I am aware of the Visual D's solution for debugging but I'm
actually
looking for a candidate debugger for integrating in to DDT, so
these
solutions won't work for me.

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 ?
With the help of cv2pdb (http://dsource.org/projects/cv2pdb)
the dmd
generated debug information can be converted to a pdb file, so
you can use
most C++ debuggers including Visual Studio.
Visual D (http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald) includes
cv2pdb, but also
mago (http://dsource.org/projects/mago debugger). mago is a
Visual Studio
debug engine that works directly on the dmd generated debug
info, but still
misses some features of other debuggers.
There is also ddbg (http://ddbg.mainia.de/) which integrates
with other
IDEs, but it is no longer updated. I don't know how well it
works with
recent dmd releases.
The next Visual D/cv2pdb version will feature gdc support
including
debugging (cv2pdb will convert the DWARF info to pdb).
