| 2 | | |
|---|
| 3 | | cv2pdb is a converter of DMD !CodeView and GDC DWARF debug information to PDB debug format to make it accessible to current tools and debuggers. |
|---|
| 4 | | |
|---|
| 5 | | The goal of this project is to make debugging of D applications that were created with the [http://dlang.org/download.html DMD] or [https://bitbucket.org/goshawk/gdc/wiki/Home GDC] compiler, as seamless as possible in current versions of Visual Studio (i.e Visual Studio 2008 and VCExpress). |
|---|
| 6 | | [[BR]] |
|---|
| 7 | | As a side effect, other applications might also benefit from the converted debug information, like !WinDbg and DMC. |
|---|
| 8 | | |
|---|
| 9 | | '''cv2pdb can now be installed as part of [http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald Visual D] which features integration of the D programming language into Visual Studio.''' |
