I'm thinking about adding support for this to TextMate. But as
soon as one adds this to an editor a bunch of new issues
appears, which I'm trying to figure out.
* When to start/stop the server. I'm, at least as a start,
going to try and implement this as a bundle command and not a
plugin. A bundle command basically is a script that is run when
a key is pressed
I start and stop the server manually. I know that this should be
improved, but there are a few other things that I'd like to focus
on first.
* How to deal with import paths? TextMate doesn't have any kind
of build configuration. I need to be able to specify, except
for the current project, the path to the standard library and
possibly paths for other projects. I have an idea how to do
this, using custom keys in the project specific settings, but
I'm wondering how this is solved in other editors.
Things such as the standard library location can be placed in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dcd/dcd.conf or $HOME/.config/dcd/dcd.conf on
Linux or BSD, or dcd.conf (in the same directory as the server
executable) on Windows. The server reads this on startup and
caches all .d and .di files that it finds in the paths in that
file.
* How to deal with multiple sessions/projects? Should I have
one server running per session/project? Say I have two
different projects, both with the symbol "foo.bar". I don't
want those to cause conflicts.
Symbols are filtered by the import statements that are contained
in the text that you send to dcd-client, so there shouldn't be a
conflict. If you have multiple foo backages each with a bar
module, then it'll probably break.
