The docs say it is, but they could be wrong. Could you run
dub with -v (and without any manually added -gc) and share
the output?
Sure, here's what I'd think is the relevant part:
Performing "debug" build using ldc2 for x86_64.
File '/Users/relja/Projects/dlangplayground/dub.json'
modified, need rebuild.
dlangplayground ~master: building configuration
"application"...
ldc2 -mcpu=haswell
-of.dub/build/application-debug-posix.osx-x86_64-ldc_2071-A59B2D18A3A7E59FF17DA8905B6773B0/dlangplayground -d-debug -g -w -oq -od=.dub/obj -d-version=Have_dlangplayground -Isource/ source/app.d -vcolumns
So, no -gc.
-g is there though, which is actually what the docs say.
gdb should suppport D (assuming it's not an ancient gdb), so -g
should be better there. Overall, gdb is a better debugger for
D. -g means D debug info, -gc means pretend to be C.
Well, while I was on Ubuntu, I was using gdb (through cgdb) with
everything in order, so I'd expect the same on macOS. gdb version
on the Ubuntu could only be older, I suppose, so I'd say that is
not the problem. Nevertheless, I feel like lldb with c-like
debugging will do just fine. Although its a shame there's so much
hustle around such an important development tool (hope I'm the
special case and other people have better experience).
I maintain the D packages in homebrew, so let me know if you
have any problems. homebrew is up to date with the latest
stable dub release, so a quick brew update && brew upgrade dub
should get you up to date..
Awesome, thanks for the good work!
