Are there some debuggers that can be used for D.  Is there some documented way
on how to use those.

Here are some links for using the Microsoft Visual Studio debugger in
a Windows development environment:

From inside the ide, click on the "Locals" tab to see local variables.

As of about dmd ver 0.104 or so, you can "see" primitives inside
inside objects. There are a few workarounds to see the value of a
char[]:
#  char[] myVar = "Local Variable";  // Visible indirectly
#               // len is (int)myVar
#               // char is (char*)((int)(myVar >>32))
#  char* p = "Pointer";              // Visible to debugger
#  debug char* _dbgMyVar = myVar;  // Visible to debugger
