Hi!

When setting a breakpoint at the start of a function (where the name of 
the function is) the stack frame listing (us) is incorrect: it dosen't 
include the before-last stack frame.

Example file 1 (chau.d):

----------------------------------------------------
module chau;

void foo() {            // Line 3
	bar();
}

void main(char[][] args) {
	foo();          // Line 8
}
----------------------------------------------------

The stacktrace prints the function that contains the instruction pointer
of each frame, not the function that allocated the frame.
The code that corresponds to the line where the function is declared
contains the enter opcode that allocates the stack frame for that
function. That means that the frame does not exist until the next line.
Therefore your proposed stacktrace isn't correct at that position.
But I agree that the current version is misleading.

Instead of
<frame no.> <function containing IP> [at file:line | from module]
it should be
<frame no.> <function that created the frame> [at file:line | from module]

In your example the ST would then be (note that line=3 in frame 0)
#0 _Dmain (args = 0x0012ff4c00000001) at chau.d:3
#1 0x004020b8 in _main () from dmain2
#2 0x0040750d in _mainCRTStartup () from constart
#3 0x7c816fd7 in ?? () from KERNEL32.dll

i'll fix this in the next release.

BTW: did you use DMD 1.010 or older? he args parameter should be
expanded correctly else...

What do you mean by expanded correctly? I just downloaded dmd 1.014 and 
the args parameters is shown exactly the same. Should I see the args as 
an array literal (args = ["arg1":"value1"], etc.) ?

yes, example:

import std.stdio;
void foo() {
    writefln("asdf");
}
void main(char[][] args) {
    foo();
}

Yes, sorry, I didn't install dmd correctly.

It's great that strings and arrays are printed this way now.
