Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I wasn't able to find anything similar on the forums or web. I can't seem to figure out how to debug a D DLL from a C# EXE. (My actual purpose here is to use D to build native plugins for Unity 5, but Unity and Mono aren't necessary to repro the problem I'm running into.) The D DLL and C# are both built as 64-bit. (C# is not set to AnyCPU). Using VS 2015 and Visual D, I can drive the D DLL from the C# EXE without any problems, but the debugger doesn't load the D DLL symbols. The DLL and PDB are in the same folder as the C# EXE. Everything behaves the same if I link to the DLL statically using P/Invoke or dynamically using LoadLibrary. Everything from the D DLL is exposed as extern(C), listed in the .def, etc. When I drive the DLL from a D EXE, I can break into the debugger easily, whether I attach at launch or attach to the process when it's already running. I'm building the DLL using: dmd <obj files omitted for brevity> dllmain.d dll.def -w -wi -g -map -ofLogic.dll <res and lib files omitted for brevity> -m64 -debug -shared Anyone know what I should try next? Am I missing something simple? :) thanks! Thalamus
I haven't tried debugging a C# application, but you might have to disable "Just My Code" in the global debugger options. Also make sure to allow native debugging (JIT options).
When debugging Visual D (a D DLL), I set VS (devenv.exe, a mixed C++/C# app) as the program to debug in the project debugger options. This ensures a native debugger engine is used and is the simplest way to use the mago debugger. With the "Mixed mode" engine, you can debug both C# and D/C++ in the same session.
