Just to make sure, do you know Mago-Mi? It is the Mago debug 
engine with a GDB compatible interface. That means at every place 
GBD is supported, also Mago-Mi can be used.
For example IntelliJ D Language plugin or Visual Studio Code or 
DlangIDE...

Unfortunately Mago-Mi has some issues, written down here
