Hi,
I have uploaded a new version of Visual D. Apart from changes
to the build system, the semantic analysis is now considered
stable enough to leave experimental state. I guess too many
people just didn't know that it existed at all, because it was
buried somewhere in the global options. Although it hasn't
improved a lot (no UFCS, no class templates, no operator
overloading) it seems quite useful.
Some excerpts from the change log:
* a number of bug fixes and improvements to the build system,
e.g.
- new linker option to disable using global and standard
library search paths
- added preliminary support for upcoming dmd win64 compiler
- added console application project template with
configurations for DMD and GDC for Win32 and x86
* semantic analysis now enabled by default
* "goto definition" now uses semantic analysis to find
declaration
* added build project to build Visual D from within Visual
Studio
itself without the need to modify makefiles
* now installed as an "extension" to VS 2010 and VS 2012
* fixed spurious crashes due to bug in precise garbage
collection

Visual D is a Visual Studio package providing both project
management and language services for the D programming
language. It works with Visual Studio 2005-12 as well as the
free Visual Studio Shells.
The Visual D installer can be downloaded from its website at
http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald
Visual D is completely written in D, the source code is
available at github (https://github.com/rainers/visuald) and
dsource (http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/browser/trunk).
