Sorry for late reply, but I don't typically check the D.debugger 
newsgroups (if you have a question about DDT, you can open a Github 
issue for that, that will guarantee faster response).

As for your issue, did you try the settings in the debug configuration? 
In the "Source" tab ( 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DDT-IDE/DDT/latest/documentation/screenshots/UserGuide_DebuggerLaunchConfiguration.png 
) you can configure additional source mappings for the Eclipse debugger 
to find the .d source files.
