This tracker bug is intended to keep track of all issues that cause difficulties with debugging D. These include invalid DWARF output, errors from gdb or other debuggers that appear to be caused by bad debugging information, as well as any other issues that make debugging D applications difficult or even impossible.
closing, we don't need a tracker to track other bugs.

(In reply to comment #1) > closing, we don't need a tracker to track other bugs. Why have you singled this one out over all the other trackers here? Moreover, trackers are accepted on various Bugzilla installations, and widely used on Mozilla's own. There was also a brief thread about it http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/bugs/7640.html (In reply to comment #2) > I agree, that's what keywords are for. In this case, symdeb. So are we going to have keywords created to replace all of the trackers here that don't already have keywords to the effect?
Because it's one that I hit in looking at a set of bugs and opted to get rid of. As to the others, they'll be delt with opportunistically and depending on the situation surrounding them. I don't intend to make any sort of general policy statements, it's hardly worth getting into a debate about, certainly not in the middle of bugzilla.
