I think binutils do support coff as well. I might need you as a mentor. Currently I'm thinking out of the milestones, I probably can fully convert Mago to D by the end of September, in October I'll work on getting the COFF64 support at the same level as 32 bit ones, November and December will be spent with developing a GUI and bug fixes.

Rainer is unable to participate in SAoC as a mentor this time around. So we're looking for anyone with the time and the willingness to step up.

I think one of the only people qualified to help you is Rainer Schutze. I think he knows the details of Mago better than anyone. Incidentally, I use Mago exclusively and I'm not sure I have any of these problems you're speaking of. Mixed D/C++ debugging is working well in VS. Memory editing is also working fine...? Top of my wish-list would be a way to evaluate pure functions/properties while stepping as if variables.
