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 Project no longer maintained.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 GDB Limited/outdated support?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:

Icon dpackage 48.png
MonoDeveloped-based full D IDE. Has integration with the GDB debugger. "Debugging (using MonoDevelop’s integrated gdb support on Linux currently)"  ? Linux only?
Icon dpackage 48.png
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
