As phobos is released without debug information, functions built into 
the library cannot be debugged as is. Templates should be debuggable 
unless the compiler can deduce from the source code that they have been 
instantiated in phobos, too.

As a workaround you can rebuild phobos as part of the project by 
enabling "Build and use local version of phobos with same compiler 
options" in the linker options of the debug configuration.
