That sounds very useful. It would be awesome if you could
evaluate the returned value of functions that already exist in
your program, or (like your picture shows) write simple test
functions to evaluate. Of course not all functions will work,
but It would be great in some areas. So, just to be clear, say
you have the following function in your project:
int foo(int x, int y)
{
return x * y + 5;
}
Then in the expression "command line", you just type:
foo(1, 2)
Hit Enter, and you get a message: "7". You could also write
larger test functions in the Expression Evaluation body (like
in your screenshot) which could do more complicated stuff
(still limited of course).

My progress so far. Lots of internals to manage though. The
execute-button isn't implemented yet but you can toggle the
"Automatically take the mixin at the caret location" button.
Concerning things like foo(1,2) - yes, the evaluation engine
directly takes the symbols straight out of its parsed modules. So
as you create a method body you'll be able to execute stuff
in-line. But yeah, remember that CTFE isn't implemented yet ;) -
Perhaps I'll do/finish it during the next GSoC.
Haha, as a systematical performance pre-improvement I could
directly redirect some phobos methods like sqrt() to the .net one
- which would save huge amounts of time then.
You just gave me an awesome idea though. I know this would be a
ton of work (I'm not making a feature request here), but how
realistic would it be with your system to do a "side-by-side"
expression evaluation with "example data" (where applicable)? :D
Meaning, imagine your screen looks like:
CODE | EXAMPLE RESULTS
------------------------------------------------------------
|
int foo(int x, int y) | params: (2, 3) // editable
{ |
return x * y + 5 | returns: 11 // not-editable
} |
|
That would simply amazing! I don't expect you to make that,
lol, only want to know if it's possible (or foreseeable) with
your expression evaluation engine. Is it?
Side-by-side? This could be your contribution then :P
I actually did watch this one video where that one guy just
edited some javascript in his uber-editor and the WebGL
animations reacted on his coding in pseudo-realtime in the
browser :D
