I am using VisualD(https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases) 
with vs2015 community version(free) and I can debug. I highly 
recommend it if you haven't tried yet. Those options like "-g"  
is presented to you with interfaces. Forexample "-g" is 
automatically is being added if you are selecting debug 
builds(like Debug DMD or Debug LDC).
