Mono-D v0.4.7 - Optlink output analysis / Symbol name demangling
Hi everyone, Just released a new version - For info, see http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com Cheers, Alex
Re: Build Script in D
for anything outside D there is enough makefiles, autotools, cmake, whatever. also there is OS package system which for sure contaion most of these libraries, for me it's enough to not bother about building own C build system Using make with D works great, also there is cmake for D. But try to use two tools (d buildscript and let's say cmake) on windows. You have to force the user to either install mingw/cygwin or cmake/make and VS (cmake can only generate for mingw-make and VS not dmc). Users will end up not using it. stb_image e.g. is in no OS-Package (which also don't exist for windows)

Re: Dgame
If you use dmd 2.061 you have to merge the current dmd stuff with this pull I've a much better idea; I'm going to not use dgame until I can use it with a shipped DMD.

Then you must wait for dmd 2.062 or whenever Walter will merge this pull. As I said Dgame is yet only a Beta. But I needed this functionality because structs aren't lvalues since 2.060 but there is still no replacement like auto ref. Since 2.059 there are only many discussions about a solution. So I hope that in 2.062 auto ref is implemented. But I don't see the problem to merge this pull by your own.

I also though that MonoDevelop would run the application and display its output in an internal console view. Uses xterm (at least on linux) to display stuff in an external console. Definitely wasn't my idea. There probably is the possibility to redirect stin/out/err streams into some kind of internal log or so - but then probably the question will rise up whether one can pass input to stdin. Haven't tried it out yet - yes, yet - though Mono-D exists 1.5 years. * Go to definition and autocompletion I have no idea how good these features are supposed to be but to me they work very inconsistently. I have one project where go to definition basically only works for what's in the same file. I have another project where it seems to work fine, mostly. That's where D magic vs. my programming ability comes into the game. I can't and I won't guarantee that both works in all cases (of course not) - all I can do is to make it run in as many cases as possible. There might be couple of strange or uncommon (yes, even common) situations where I haven't thought that these could ever occur. In such cases, please note them down somewhere and tell me what's not working as expected in particular. There is no fancy mixin or template code in these projects. Did you really expect I had finished implementing CTFE so all mixins etc could be resolved? Again, please tell me where it's not working. Since I spend most of my coding time working Mono-D I don't really have time to manage D projects. Completion-related issues may get straight to https://github.com/aBothe/D_Parser please. A few questions: * Does Mono-D do autocompletion or go to definition from external files like files from Phobos and druntime? Yes. And it works for me(tm) - whereas I don't have any dimension of what modules / completion features _advanced_ D users make use of. I mean, as I said, I can't test everything - I need users to do this for me :P * Can Mono-D resolve type inference? Yes. I'm using Mac OS X. This shouldn't be a problem.
