Maybe I'm just cursed with getting gdb to work with D :( I've tried the plain vanilla gdb from my fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 as well as compiling the latest gdb from source. I believe the basic things I'm doing should work with the plain vanilla gdb.<br>

Which debugger is best to use with Ubuntu (and dmd)? I plan a fresh<br>
install of 10.04 this weekend.<br>

If you don't mind compiling from source then I'd use gdb 7.1 with the patches from:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sourceware.org/git/?p=gdb.git;a=patch;h=870850ddab624f9d0111a4a0733cf7f5edf9bf91;hp=5f38666e4d2282a3407a0266a889a5be14ad5c74" target="_blank">http://sourceware.org/git/?p=gdb.git;a=patch;h=870850ddab624f9d0111a4a0733cf7f5edf9bf91;hp=5f38666e4d2282a3407a0266a889a5be14ad5c74</a><br>
<br>
(Scroll down to the line "diff --git a/gdb/ChangeLog b/gdb/ChangeLog", the diff is from there down)<br>
<br>
This way you get a stable version of gdb with the D patches applied. Alternatively you could use the latest version from git/cvs. The final option is to use plain old gdb from the ubuntu repos. As long as you don't want to print strings it'll be fine :)<br>
<br>
I seem to recall there was a dgdb package around somewhere for ubuntu, I don't know where though, and it's probably out of date.<br>
<br>
Of course which ever route you take make sure you compile with -gc, as -g isn't supported, even with the D patches for gdb.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
