Use "Visual D -> Open Language options..." from the menu to enable the "DMD parsing engine" as well as "Colorize identifiers from semantic analysis" on the "Editor" options page. - the debugger expression evaluation now has support for tuples and simpler display of global variables (it's no longer necessary to specify the fully qualified name) - updated support for all language options (e.g. -preview), these are also forwarded to the DMD based code analysis The full version history can be found at https://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/VersionHistory.html Cheers, Rainer The DMD Semantic Server seems to hang after 10-15 minutes of operation. Memory usage slowly increases from ~400MB to ~2.9GB, after which it seems to hang. It won't do completion, error checking or semantic highlighting. When I shut Visual Studio down, the semantic server lingers in the background which I have to terminate via Task Manager. Restarting Visual Studio and terminating the server seems to fix the issue, until it happens again 15 minutes later. The completion is a tad slow, but it's functional and very accurate, so I'm quite happy with it. I'm glad to see the progress you've made and I look forward to future updates =)

Cool. Thanks, Jacob.
I can't take credit for the Singleton code, though. I stole it
from here: https://wiki.dlang.org/Low-Lock_Singleton_Pattern

If it's enough with CTFE compatible code in the constructor,
the following is a much simpler version:

private __gshared DSingleton instance = new DSingleton;
DSingleton get()

}
Or if an immutable instance work, the getter is not necessary and
the instance can be exposed directly.
class DSingleton
{
immutable DSingleton instance = new DSingleton;
