The D GDB Patches Project

This project is dedicated to creating patches against GDB to support debugging applications written in the D programming language.

Features

  • Adds D symbol demangling
  • For GDB6.4 and 6.3, Adds support for DW_LANG_D, so D programs compiled with -g don't crash GDB. GDB 6.5 already has this.
