Well, now I'm not sure about this... I've just played around with this. 
If you give DMD's front end this:


---
module main;

class Foo {

}


int main(char[][] args) {
scope(exit) { char[] x = "exit"; }
scope(failure) { char[] x = "failure"; }
scope(success) { char[] x = "success"; }
Foo foo = new Foo();
return 0;
}

it transforms it to this:

---
module main;
import object;
class Foo : Object {
}
int main(char[][] args) {
try {
try {
int __osf15 = 0;
try
try {
Foo foo = new Foo;
return 0;
} catch(Object __o2) {
__osf15 = 1;
throw __o2;

finally

throw __o1;
}
} finally

Descent has a port of DMD's frontend code to Java. It also implements

Ummm... So I apply the semantic routines, which transforms the original

Thank you all for the feedback!

I just uploaded a new release (0.5.3.20081230)...

Ok, I promise this is the last one in this year.

I just uploaded another release (0.5.3.20081231) which adds some 
kind of support for autocompletion, go-to-definition and semantic 
highlighting inside templates. It is far from perfect, but comparing 
this to nothing I think it's ok. This release also has an option to 
not insert completion proposals when a dot is typed (as was 
suggested by Jacob Carlborg).
Almost there. When pressing dot the second time the cursor is moved 
back one letter and ends up between the two dots instead of after the 
second dot.


Can you check this happens all the time? It happened to me in some 
cases, but I corrected them. I probably missed some others.


I have this example:

void main ()
{
char[] str;
char[] s = str[3.|]
}

"|" is the cursor, as usual. When I press dot here the cursor is moved 
back one letter or not moved forward and end up between the two dots 
like this:


void main ()
{
char[] str;
char[] s = str[3.|.]
}


/Jacob


There, I've fixed it. Updating from the update manager will be enough. 
I've removed the nightly builds page because now it's easier for me just 
to upload new versions to the update site.

Remove "." as insertion of autocompletion. Yes I know that it's like

You can remove it in Windows -> Preferences -> D -> Editor -> Content 
Assist, in "Auto activation triggers for D" (just remove the dot).


I'm not sure if you understand what I mean but the biggest problem is 
not the activation of the content assist, it's the insertion of the 
selected element in the list when the content assist is active, when 
you press dot the second time. I still want to use dot as the 
activation of content assist when accessing class members and similar.


Now I see what you meen. I'll add an option for it. :-)

Add an option, when enabled, if you're in a slice [|] and pressing "." 
don't show the autocompletion list (| is cursor). Ctrl+Space is still 
available.


I'll do it, that seems a reasonable solution.


Thanks, I think that this will also solve the above problem. This is 
also a better solution than the above.







Add "Libraries" for project properties, including "User Library". See 
JDT, right click on project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> 
Libraries -> Add Library ... -> User Library. This is a must after 
removing "Installed Compilers" in one of the latest nightly builds.


Done!

It seems that the new build is missing some stuff. Tried both the daily 
build zip and the update site. There are no descent features and only 
descent.launching, descent.debug.core and descent.ui.metrics plugins 
show up in the plugins list.


(Unrelated note, both descent.launching and descent.debug.core have the

Add an option, when enabled, if you're in a slice [|] and pressing "." 
don't show the autocompletion list (| is cursor). Ctrl+Space is still 
available.


I'll do it, that seems a reasonable solution.




Add "Libraries" for project properties, including "User Library". See 
JDT, right click on project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> 
Libraries -> Add Library ... -> User Library. This is a must after 
removing "Installed Compilers" in one of the latest nightly builds.


Done!

Thank you all for the feedback!

I just uploaded a new release (0.5.3.20081230) which adds support for 
user libraries:


http://dsource.org/projects/descent/wiki/Configuring

Next I'll try to work on making the cool things work inside templates 
(and not stop working on big files) and maybe dsss integration or a 
simple builder.

First I have to say that you're doing a great job with descent. Here are 
a few suggestions:


Remove "." as insertion of autocompletion. Yes I know that it's like 
that in JDT, BUT Java doesn't have slicing ".." and variadic functions "..."



Add an option, when enabled, if you're in a slice [|] and pressing "." 
don't show the autocompletion list (| is cursor). Ctrl+Space is still 
available.



"Go to definition" using Ctrl+click doesn't work in Eclipse 3.4 and 
newer, ticket #106



Add "Libraries" for project properties, including "User Library". See 
JDT, right click on project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> 
Libraries -> Add Library ... -> User Library. This is a must after 
removing "Installed Compilers" in one of the latest nightly builds.



If not too much work, getting Descent to parse command line output from 
dmd/gdc/ldc and jump to errors in the source file.



Not so important, creation of dsss.conf file in project


It would be really great if the semantic analyzer could get better 
performance, it works great in files with around 200-300 lines of code. 
If the files are larger than that it can get really slow.



For some reason, I haven't found out yet, many features like "go to 
definition", highlighting class fields in blue, highlight same 
occurrences of variable and so on stops working in larger files, it's 
probably something specific in the code that makes it not working. For 
example in this file, 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwt-mac/browser/dwt/widgets/Display.d , 
everything works as it should until line 766, after that line none of 
the above mentioned features work.





The semantic analyzer highlights this piece of code as an error:

System.arraycopy (contexts, 0, newContexts, 0, contexts.length);

Error message: Function expected before (), not 'arraycopy'
File: http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwt-mac/browser/dwt/widgets/Display.d
Line: 397
Included from file: 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwt-mac/browser/dwt/dwthelper/System.d

Line: 126



Pleas let me know if I should make a ticket for any of these 
suggestions, problems

Better template support. I now have 2 libs that are just flat uneditable 
under descent (scrapple.units and scrapple.dparse) both bring it down to 
a stand still if not crash and hand it out right. I'd love to see it 
just work at all for those files even if it doesn't support any template 
specific goodies.


I agree entirely. Using templates turns Descent into a very large text 
editor. I still use Descent for any application or library level 
development. (When I use D as a scripting language, I still use vim.)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate this IDE. 

What would make me most happy, personally, is getting Descent to parse command 
line output from dmd and jump to errors in the source file. 

Next up the wishlist is actually building from Descent, but this is less 
important. Dsss support would be awesome too.

Awesome!  How far along is semantic support for D2?  I'd really like a  
real IDE
for D2, but I guess not having one is the price I pay for living on the  
bleeding edge.
