Re: D Symbol Demangling

I finally had time to play firefighter, and I found the fire as well.
If you compile a D application without DWARF2 information, my gdb
patches work just fine... how do ya like that?

Now I REALLY have an excuse to yell at the compiler programmer.

I don't really understand why bad DWARF2 information would screw up GDB
like that, considering that I call my function at the point where GDB
tries to demangle a symbol, but I don't really understand how GDB works.

Thanks for your help... Expect to hear more from me in the future
concerning this.

BTW... assuming I can get a decent patch together to bring D support to
GDB, would it stand a good chance of being put in the main GDB tree?

Thanks again,
John Demme
