because for Windows no DWARF2 debug infos are generated, which 
are the ones GDB recognize.

By default they are to the CodeView (CV) format for win32, so 
only cdb can be used.
For win64 and mscoff32 it's yet another format (PDB). People use 
https://github.com/rainers/mago and 
https://github.com/rainers/cv2pdb to convert infos in DlangIDE 
and Visual D.
