Beerconf February 2024

# BEERCONF!

February is the short month, but it's a tad bit longer this year. 
However, beerconf doesn't care about this, we still just pick the 
last weekend, and that isn't any different. This means, Feb 24-25 
is the time for having conversations about D and other fun stuff!

## What is Beerconf?

Check out the [wiki article](https://wiki.dlang.org/Beerconf)

## Presentations?

We have dconf online coming up next month, but if you had 
something to talk about that isn't as formal, send me a note on 
discord or slack, and I will announce it here.


Last month, Chibisi presented his library to hook D to the R 
programming langauge, and it was quite interesting! I uploaded a 
recording of it 
[here](https://forum.dlang.org/post/uleppyzlyiatpkhck...@forum.dlang.org), in case you missed it.


See you in a few weeks!

Cheers! 

Zeus GDB Dlang Support

[zeuseditor via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Some time ago, a problem reported showed Zeus would fail to debug 
D code when using the GDB debugger. That issue related to the 
fact the version of GDB shipped with Zeus was outdated.


The latest release of Zeus now ships with the version 14.1 of GDB.

That means Zeus and GDB should now work with the D compiler, 
provided it produces DWARF symbolic information. The link below 
describes how the LDC compiler can be used to debug a D program 
using Zeus:

NOTE: The Zeus debugger should also work with any compiler that 
can produces DWARF symbolic information as this comes down to 
what symbolic information is supported by GDB. One final note, 
Zeus is shareware and it is designed to run on the Windows 
platform.
