- Rainer Schuetze (6/9) Apr 23 2010 I've uploaded my json-files here:
I just installed VisualD and enabled JSON output on my project and to my delight F12 took me to my own symbols. Yay. Next, I thought it would be grand if I could jump around phobos/druntime code the same way so I went looking for JSON files for these. Sadly, they're not included in the DMD release zip. Not to be foiled so easily I figured I'd try my hand at building druntime and phobos. for each and added -X to DFLAGS. For druntime... I did a "make -fwin32.mak clean" then "make -fwin32.mak" only to get: Target 'target' is up to date It seems that 'clean' doesn't clean everything, it gave an error: The system cannot find the file specified. for one of the myriad files included in the del command. I modified win32.mak for druntime to perform a seperate del command for each item, eg. clean: del $(DOCS) del $(IMPORTS) del $(DRUNTIME) del $(OBJS_TO_DELETE) del $(GCSTUB) this isn't perfect as I suspect if any file in any of those lists is missing the delete will stop dead, but this does at least clean enough to get me going again. ** (Walter, might be worth making a similar change to the master copy?) I then repeated the make steps and managed to produce a druntime.lib plus these JSON file.. bitop.json gcstub.json that's less than I was expecting.. is this because the dmd command to build druntime.lib is a -lib and -X is not compatible/meaningful with it? Ignoring that for now I moved on to phobos itself... "make -fwin32.mak clean" worked, but "make -fwin32.mak" failed until I added: "-I% P%\..\..\src\druntime\src" to my sc.ini ** (Walter, should that be there by default? .. perhaps not as you only need it to rebuild phobos and most ppl don't do that). Now "make -fwin32.mak" gets as far as the big dmd -lib command but this time it crashes ***! I do however have a few JSON files from the make: c_stdio.json Czlib.json Dzlib.json oldsyserror.json It seems I am going to need to get smarter with the makefiles, instead of attempting to piggy-back the lib build process I should build each file seperately to produce a JSON...

BTW, I don't need to modify paths in order to build on Windows (except note that you need to touch druntime/minit.obj because of a problem with the download). So you shouldn't need to modify sc.ini.

It can now produce JSON for variant.d which was previously causing a crash. I modified the win32.mak files for druntime and phobos to produce JSON files in a tree matching the source trees, but output to <dmd2>\json. I've added that json path to the VisualD global JSON paths setting, eg. $(DMDInstallDir)\json (I tried specifying the path without the $() var but it makes no difference) I highlight BufferedFile and press F12, or right-click and choose "Go To Definition" and it doesn't work :( Any ideas?

Hi, you don't need to create json-files per d-file. I added the -Xf option to the lib-generating line in druntime/win32.mak: $(DRUNTIME): $(OBJS) $(SRCS) win32.mak $(DMD) -lib -Xf..\json\druntime.json -of$(DRUNTIME) $(DFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(OBJS) and the same to phobos/win32.mak: phobos.lib : $(OBJS) $(SRCS) \ etc\c\zlib\zlib.lib $(DRUNTIMELIB) win32.mak $(DMD) -lib -ofphobos.lib -Xf..\json\phobos.json $(DFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(OBJS) \ etc\c\zlib\zlib.lib $(DRUNTIMELIB) and you will get only two json files. (This will leave out files in $(OBJS), but i think, their separate compilation seems not be necessary with the compile-everything-command above).

I've even considered removing the docs from it (as these are just fine online).Perhaps the archive could be split up into multiple archives? It shouldn't be too hard to split up the release archive into windows/linux/osx/freebsd specific archives, and for the latter 3 you could switch to a better compression algorithm to save more space. Without splitting the archive up: 9.7M dmd.2.042.zip (.042 was what I happened to have to hand) 6.3M dmd.2.042.tar.xz 7.8M dmd.2.042.tar.bz2 9.2M dmd.2.042.tar.gz Removing the windows/osx directories, (I'm on linux, seemed the right thing to test): 3.2M dmd.2.042.tar.xz 3.8M dmd.2.042.tar.bz2 4.7M dmd.2.042.tar.gz So by splitting up the archives/using different methods of compression you can save a lot of space. It shouldn't be too hard to automate the process to save effort. All this said, this is the 21st century, we can live with a few extra MB here and there :) Compared to other compilers this distribution is tiny ;) All this said, I'd love to see a mirror for the dmd archives, ftp.digitalmars.com is incredibly slow :/

Or have to mark the Linux bins as executable (not necessary if the distribution was a tarball), which is kinda unfriendly for newbies/annoying for experienced coders.I agree about the executable bits. That's fairly annoying when installing manually. You'd think that just replacing the old folder with the new one would be enough, but no: you have to go change permissions all over the place. Zip files can store the executable bit too, you just have to use the right tool to create the archive. If I create a zip file using the 'zip' command on Mac OS X, the executable bit is preserved when I later use 'unzip'. It's probably the same on Linux. -- Michel Fortin michel.fortin michelf.com http://michelf.com/

The zip with the json-files, that I posted the other day, is 129kB. Maybe not the worst thing to add to the archive. I don't think letting a beginner create the json files himself is an option, so the alternative would be to create a separate archive (which might also include the docs). But this might easily get out of date when the user updates to a new version of dmd.
