Debugging support by compiler and platform:
| Compiler/Platform | Format | Debugger | Supported functionality |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMD-Win32 | OMF | VisualD (VisualStudio) | Good support: Breakpoints; Stack frames; Mostly pretty names ('.' shows up as '@'); Variable inspection; |
| DMD-Win32 | OMF | 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 Project no longer maintained.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 | DWARF on PE | GDB | same as GDC-Linux? |
| GDC-Win32/64
GDC-Linux |
DWARF | GDB | Good support: Breakpoints; Stack frames; Pretty names; Variable inspection; |
| any? | DWARF | ZeroBUGS | "Modular debugger for C/C++/D programming languages (and virtually anything else that supports Stabs/DWARF debug formats)". Supported debugging functionality?? |
| GDC-MacOS | (?) | GDB | Limited/outdated support? According to Jacob Carlberg:
"D symbols need to be prefixed with an extra underscore." "Line numbers don't work." |
| LDC | (?) | LLDB | ? |
Graphical debugger frontends:
| Title / Info | Description | License | Platform | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
MonoDeveloped-based full D IDE. Has integration with the GDB debugger. "Debugging (using MonoDevelop’s integrated gdb support on Linux currently)" | ? | Linux only? | |
| |
Eclipse-based full C/C++ IDE. Has fully working integration with the GDB debugger, including D support. Can partially work with D projects if a fake C/C++ project is created in order to debug a D executable. | EPL | Linux/Windows/MacOS | |
| |
Graphical frontend to the GDB debugger, which supports full D syntax from version 7.2. | GPL | Linux | |
| |
Command line frontend to the GDB debugger, which supports full D syntax from version 7.2.Shows code and the GDB console in split windows. | GPL | Linux |
