I've contacted with Mihail however he said that the support is failing due to some conflict with the DWARF4. (The 3 D-specific DWARF extensions are overlapping with some DWARF4 extensions http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3D4180). As this should be resolved within the compiler development community, I would like to get comfortable to contribute to GDB the necessary D specific interface. I read the development resources however I still feel kinda lost in the GDB dev environment, I would appreciate if someone could help me out with some specific blog entries or similar, so I could catch up faster. (For first I would like to learn how to add reasonable test suites for testing the D interface.)
