I'm not sure why you even think the OP is using GDC. His bug report
says he's on windows 10. GDC is not supported on windows systems and
won't work for anything but trivial programs.

And stack traces is one thing GDC has had proper support way before
DMD. We have proper stack traces since June 2013:
