DMD-Win32 OMF Mago/VisualD Good support: Breakpoints; Stack frames; Mostly pretty names ('.' shows up as '@'); Variable inspection; Visual Studio based.
WinDbg Supplied with the main D compiler zip file download. Overview
ddbg Doesn't seem to be working well. Project no longer maintained.
DMD-Win64 COFF VisualD (VisualStudio) TODO: same level of support as for win32?

DMD-Linux
GDC-Linux
LDC-Linux
GDC-Win32/64

DWARF GDB Good support: Breakpoints; Stack frames; Pretty names; Variable inspection;
ZeroBUGS "Modular debugger for C/C++/D programming languages (and virtually anything else that supports Stabs/DWARF debug formats)". Supported debugging functionality??
LDC-MinGW DWARF - DWARF debug symbol info seems to be broken for LLVM compiled with MinGW note

DMD-MacOS
GDC-MacOS
LDC-MacOS

? GDB Limited/outdated support? According to Jacob Carlberg:

"D symbols need to be prefixed with an extra underscore." "Line numbers don't work."
