Yes, that's why the C2 backend is useful; it populates the debuginfo with very high quality data.

Got the news first hand by David Majnemer first hand not so long ago. Congrats guys :)

Rainer Schuetze has implemented MSVC-compatible exception handling (available since brand-new LLVM 3.8) for LDC, so that we have fully working exception chaining now on Win64. Along the way, he also added 32-bit MSVC support and a TLS alignment bugfix for Windows < 8.1 (a Windows bug/wontfix!). It requires a bleeding edge LLVM though, as Rainer's work has uncovered a few LLVM bugs which didn't make it into 3.8 final. So a round of applause for Rainer and the LLVM devs, excellent job, thank you very much! Full PDB support for LLVM is also underway... This is great, I don't have to write assembly anymore! Thanks LDC team.
mondo - a d library for mongodb
I just released on behalf of the company I work for (http://lab.2night.it) "mondo", a library to work with mongodb. Mondo is a collection of classes (and struct) built over mongo-c-driver. Low-level bindings are generated automatically using dstep + a small script to patch some issues with original source. More info on github page. It obviusly depends on mongo-c-driver library (quite easy to compile). GH: https://github.com/2night/mondo Dub: http://code.dlang.org/packages/mondo Comments are welcome. Andrea Fontana

Looks nice. I was just wondering... why did you write the generator in python and not in D? Just curious :) I see now... The Vulkan docs provide python modules for easier integration already. Makes sense.

If I import a xcb_connection_t from some bindings,
it ties d-vulkan to those bindings, which I'd rather not do.
By the magic of D:
version (Linux)
{
import xcb.xcb;
}
...
version (Linux)
{
xcb_connection_t* con;
}
Also you can make xcb-d dependency optional in DUB.
