Since using Go and working on a couple of fairly old C++ codebases, all of which use tab for indent, I have come to rather like it. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

It would be good if the D implemented D parser were though. Parsing to create an AST is needed for many things. If each tool in the tool chain implements it's own… it just seems wrong. -- Russel. = Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Roadm: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

"Jacob Carlborg" wrote in message news:md8vu6$hc1$1...@digitalmars.com... The DMD front end is not really designed to be used as a library for tooling. It isn't, but it's slowly getting better. eg You can now build the lexer as a library without pulling everything else in. It's quite possible that in a couple of years it will be in a state where it's reasonable to build tools on top of it.

It was very cool from the very beginning but when all new ref counting discussions happened and I didn't have time to follow - that was the moment of true appreciation of "This Week in D". Thank you, Adam.

You probably feel that way because tabs are better. dfmt only defaults to spaces because that's what's in the Phobos style guide.
