Mono-D

Good afternoon everybody,

There’s some good news concerning the addin which brings better and D-specific debugging to MonoDevelop — Invoking an object’s toString() method has become possible again..I’ve also made couple of things easier, so there’s no manual reassembling and other hard circumstances required to inject the toString-examiner on different platforms anymore!

Have some screenshots:

Despite the lucky message of having some project activity again there are still way to many unstable and weak points which make real debugging with this addin quite difficult. So lean back, and await the new stuff! (..or come on contributing)

Good morning again,

While trying to improve some things regarding parsing import statements, I’ve invented some null ref exceptions – which I fixed in this release.

Furthermore: This project is not dead yet! It just has become difficult for me to find some time for coding due to more intense tasks I’ve got to do for my studying..4th semester ain’t easy anymore :-/

Good morning everyone,

Though I released it a couple of days ago I’ll do a release note now:

I’ve added a ‘native’ support for Dub projects. You just have to open the package.json meta file that is located inside a D project’s folder in order to have it opened in Xamarin Studio / MonoDevelop – no need for creating an artificial .dproj/.sln file via dub anymore!

The support is currently very limited though – but you can build and execute projects with it. All build configuration has to be done in the package.json now; Currently there aren’t any control panels – and trying to edit a project’s settings will throw exceptions – but you also don’t have to configure it in MD anymore..

If the package.json got edited while the project is opened, it’ll reload the file automatically! No need to reopen it all the time!

Hi everyone,

Noticed the new release by coincidence yesterday – and updated the mono-d code immediately. Unfortunately, I can’t build XS under Mint anymore due to a mono version increase + my mono installation got messed up due to experimenting with Mono 3.0.6

Could anyone load the latest XS/MonoDevelop binaries up to a public place so we can access it?

In the mean time, you can revert your Mono-D version right here!

To prevent double issue reports due to incompatibilities w/ the new 0.5.2 version of Mono-D:

[UPDATE May 2013] I’ve packed and uploaded the latest version to http://simendsjo.me/files/abothe/

I guess I coded too much with testing it too little.. Just fixed very fundamental issues that were magically created during the last commits. Please update again in order not to be urged to rage-quit Mono-D after typing a couple of characters!

[Update] Fuck it, several parts of the completion & context recognition are still broken. More updates are coming soon.

Hi everyone,

I’ve fixed another bunch of bugs/implemented stuff during the last few days:

• Regression: Method locals weren’t shown in the completion.
• Regression: Completion didn’t trigger on method parameters etc.
• Work-around/Good compromise for too long template deduction times. #243
• Prefix all ‘extra linker arguments’ with -L when building projects in one step.
• Show default compiler in the global compiler options by default #221
• Intellisense didn’t process Up & Down keystrokes / immediately closed down the completion window #245
• Established detection in the completion whether an expression is parsed
• Fixed completion within enum definition blocks
• null-ref exception when typing a space after e.g. myTemplate!()  #244
• writeln(asdf,) could’t be parsed though it’s marked as legal in the specs #248
• Only show classes, interfaces and templates when completing base classes. #236
• Template parameter insights were not displayed.
• Added AST modifier which finally solves the completion issues e.g. when entering a line break at a method’s body ending and the method’s locals won’t show up anymore.
• Fixed references finding for implicit template properties. #234
• When formatting text parts, indentation replacements are now combined to one undo group. #242
• Show param insight for delegates #241
