This is the TODO file for cv2pdb, a 
converter of DMD CodeView debug information to PDB files

Copyright (c) 2009 by Rainer Schuetze, All Rights Reserved

There are some quirks that you might run into when using 
Visual Studio to debug D programs. These will hopefully be removed 
in the future, but not all have a known solution.

* has to use '@' instead of '.' in class names to avoid confusing debugger, 
  but it looks ugly
* "this.var" is not a valid debugger expression, you have to use 
  "var" or "this->var"
* global/static vars have to be watched with full module and class name 
  specified (e.g. module@globvar)
* type of associative arrays is displayed as aa<*> to allow overload 
  in autoexp.dat
* DMD does not emit different debug information for const and invariant, 
  type info is the same
* type display of delegate does not have arguments 
* assoc_array.length cannot be displayed (it is assoc_array.a->nodes)
* enum values not displayed
* does not work with debug version of phobos
