Bug 146 – Wrong filename in DWARF debugging information for templates

When a template is used, DMD puts the filename in which the template was instianted into the DWARF debugging information, so one can't debug templated code, which makes me a sad panda. This might be a symptom of a large problem along with bug #107. Example: teqdruid@teqBook:~/workspace/test$ cat test1.d import test2; void main() { t!().foo(); }teqdruid@teqBook:~/workspace/test$ cat test2.d template t() { void foo() { Object o = null; o.toString(); //Segfault } }teqdruid@teqBook:~/workspace/test$ gdb test1 GNU gdb 6.3-debian Copyright 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Re-reporting for latest version. It's been so long, I think I have to reconfirm that it's not working. I also bumped up the severity since I run into this issue often, and each time I do, I gnash my teeth and start dreaming of Java's debugger.

Please don't move versions forward. It's much more interesting / useful to know when a bug was introduced (not that you know for sure that it started with 0.157 but in this case you know it's _at least_ that old) than that it's still happening now. The the bug is still open is an indicator that it's still happening (though not 100% since sometimes bugs get fixed and are left open accidentally, it's certainly the base assumption).

Fixed DMD 1.009
