[Dwarf-discuss] Request: Support for D Language

[Michael Eager]

My appologies.

Updating the web site is more manual than I would like.

In the meantime, I've had a disk crash which took out my email.  Thanks
for resending this and I'll get it on the web site as soon as my system
is live again.

Quoting John Demme <me at teqdruid.com>:

> The D language (http://www.digitalmars.com/d), by Walter Bright is a C
> link compatible, multi-paradigm language that is steadily gaining
> popularity all over the world (although there are no books on it in the
> US, I believe there is a Japanese book on the language.)
>
> Although the object files that the D compilers output are largely
> compatible with C (in fact, one uses gcc to link them on Linux), there
> are some notable differences.  In particular, D uses symbol mangling.
> I've written a patch for GDB to demangle D symbols, however without a
> DWARF language code, it's hard for GDB to know whether or not to
> attempting demangling.
>
> As such, I'd like to have DW_LANG_D added to the DWARF specs. Doesn't
> matter what the value is.

> Thank You
