digitalmars.D.debugger - Is there an IDE with a working graphic debuger under Linux ?

Hello,

I want to start a new project with D. I have installed both dmd and gdc under
my gentoo (gcc with use flag D for the last). From my research, it appears only
codeblocks and eclipse deal with D. I have installed codeblocks. D projects are
proposed,  there are configurations both for dmd and gdc. It sounds ok.

At compilation, only gdc is working. It is not an issue for me since at this
step, I don't care using one or the other.

Debugging fails. I made some research on the web, found the patches for gdb
6.3, 6.4, 6.5 at http://dsource.org/projects/gdb-patches/, modify the gdb6.5-r2
 ebuild to apply the 6.5 patch (inspired from
http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=979), force this release to be
compiled. I checked the patches are correctly applyed.

Debugging behave and fails the same : the line where I set a breakpoint is not
highlighted when the program is stopped there. Running line by line does not
work (behave like a resume), some breakpoints are not seen.

I spent more time on the web and found here -
http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D.deb
gger&article_id=247 -  that codeblocks have problems with d debugger.

So, my question is : What IDE most suit D, with working graphic debugger ?

the problems codeblocks has concern the windows D debugger ddbg only. on linux you can try http://www.zerobugs.org/

Hello, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunatly, the D demangler patch for zero seems to be far from usable : http://www.digitalmars.com/pnews/read.php?server=news.digitalmars.com&group=digitalmars.D.debugger&artnum=17 Another solution for Linux ?The lack of graphic debuger would be actually a showstopper for me. Unfortunatly, I am not a geak.

You can try Descent, which works with GDB for linux:

Thank you Manzana. I have installed Eclipse (IDE), Descent (D source editor
eclipse plugin) and DSSS (build engine). At this point, it is alright. I can
make a D project, edit it (Descent looks great), and build it, both with GDC or
DMD.

I then installed gdb 6.5 with the D gdb patch 6.5 (cf
http://dsource.org/projects/gdb-patches/).

Debugging does not work for me, either with GDC or DMD. I compile with -g to
have the symbols. But no symbol seems to be loaded.

Does it work for someone ?

You have to specify -g during linking as well - although I think DSSS/Rebuild will do that automatically. Check the command line it passes to the linker. -- Best regards, Vladimir mailto:thecybershadow gmail.com

Apart from that, yesterday I fixed some stuff regarding Descent with gdb. I'll test it some more, and probably make a maintenance release in these days (which will also have an Open Type dialog).
