Step into in debugging.

Hello! I care for project DCD. I've wanted to fix some issue in 
it very long time ago. But when I get a little bit of free time I 
encounter one big problem for me.

I can't debug it using GDB. I can't go through call stack because 
I get a number of issues. Long story short I've decided to solve 
them one by one and I really need community's help.

First of them. I can't make `step into` staying on this code line 
https://github.com/ANtlord/DCD/blob/master/src/server/autocomplete.d#L341.
What I do:

1. I compile DCD project using dub with dmd `dub build 
--compiler=dmd --build=debug --config=server --parallel`
2. I run `gdb <path/to/dcd-server>`. I do it from project root 
directory always `gdb dcd-server`.
3. Inside gdb. I do `break autocomplete.d:341`
4. Inside gdb. I do `run -p 6767` where `-p 6767` is DCD 
parameter.
5. I launch dcd-client with parameters for calling desirable code 
`dcd-client  --port 6767 myfile.d -c 53`. File `myfile.d` 
consists of `void main(string[] args) { int[] asd = [4,2]; 
asd[0]. }`. Yes, it has one line.
6. Inside gdb. I stay on desirable line and I do `step`.
7. Inside gdb. I am ended up in 
`/usr/include/dlang/dmd/std/typecons.d:6097` instead function 
`generateAutocompleteTrees` called on the line.

I attach this screenshot to be clear

Thanks.
