Also, I'm not sure if this is new or what but now when I compile 
my projects I get

zutil.c

These files are in dmd src phobos dir it seems and it happens 
every time I build
the project.

Best I can tell is visual D is building phobos every time... This 
happens even if I made a change to a single file and recompile. 
It used to not do this.

I see no reason why it would have to rebuild phobos every time 
since nothing changes. Disabling private build removes the 
errors. Maybe an option to use build only if it does not exist so 
it does not rebuild every time.




Also, does building multiple object files reduce compilation by 
not rebuilding everything? Seems like a lot of files are 
recompiled that don't change at all.



...and at the page 
http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html, would it 
be possible to have a search that restricts to that info?



There also seems to be an error in that a command line option -gc 
is being used by Visual D for "generate debug info suitable for 
mixed debugger" in the debug options. Disabling that options 
removes the switch.


-gc seems to go with Visual studio while -g is for mago.

Not sure what they are suppose to do but dmd does not accept -gc.


You might want to add an option for -gf Emit debug info for all 
referenced types  to the debug properties.


Another thing: When I do a search for a variable and the Visual D 
search window pops up for multiple matches, double clicking any 
entry does not take me to the file and location of that entry 
making me manually find the entry.
