If you're using DMD, that simply doesn't work at all. GDB doesn't 
understand any of the debug formats DMD outputs (COFF/MSVC or OMF), and 
it likely never will.

GDC for Windows is not maintained.

As LDC for Windows, I haven't tried it recently. Last time I tried it, 
debugging support wasn't working ( 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/qsttkqzbtnhyrogekppn@forum.dlang.org ). 
However may be that has changed recently? I dunno about LDC itself, but 
I've tried the Rust compiler for Windows, and although a bit buggy, 
basic debugging support was working: 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RustDT/RustDT/master/documentation/screenshots/sample_debug.png
So the same should be possible for LDC as well!

Note: I try to collate this information in 
http://wiki.dlang.org/Debuggers , although perhaps "Debugging support" 
should listed by platform, instead of "by compiler".


If you absolutely must use DMD/MSVC toolchains, well there might be some 
hope int the future, since work is being done on LLDB such as to be able 
to debug MSVC executables:

(LLDB has an interface emulating GDB, and as such should integrate with 
Eclipse and other GDB UI frontends)
