digitalmars.D - Settings in CodeBlocks -- D Language
- David Wang (9/9) Apr 05 2011 Dear all,
- Andrew Wiley (5/12) Apr 05 2011 My understanding is that Code::Blocks only supports code completion
- David Wang (40/40) Apr 05 2011 ==============
- Sam Hu (3/56) Apr 05 2011 Which version of C::B do you mean support d2 complier?I use C::B svn 704...
- David Wang (12/12) Apr 05 2011 Now I'm using the svn7075 (the latest is svn7076) in my Fedora14
- =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Anders_F_Bj=F6rklund?= (10/25) Apr 06 2011 This was discussed earlier on the Code::Blocks forum, too:
- Matthias Pleh (8/17) Apr 06 2011 Really cool, if someone could improve CodeBlocks in this direction.

Dear all, The CodeBlocks IDE supports DMD compiler and I've described the proper settings for Codeblocks using in D Language. Please visit the WiKi page here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_a_supported_compiler BTW, the "Code Completion for D" isn't quite good now, and in future it will be improved. Best regards. David.

Has this changed?

============== My understanding is that Code::Blocks only supports code completion for D because their fuzzy C++ parser can sometimes parse D successfully, and that they don't plan to support D directly. Has this changed? ============== Acturally everytime when CodeBlocks parses D will be failed. :( And for there is no code developer of CodeBlocks using and familar with D Language, so the support for D will stop here and there's no further plan in a time. (CodeBlocks was written in C++ with wxWidgets libraries.) So, I made a personal decision that I'll start to learn C++ language (I only knows a littel bit C Language :) ), and when I achive the providing patches level, I'll try to submit patches to Codeblocks core develop team to improve the D Language support. I think the biggest problem in CodeBlocks for D Language now is the 'Code Completion' problem. I've communicated with them, and I got the feedback as bellow: ********** There are two major parts of CC(Code Completion), the first part (we say part A) was collecting tags. we use the parser class and other helper classes(all the code was under parser- subfolder as you said) to analyze all the source code, then we store all the tags(some times, we call Tokens). The second part( we say Part B) was doing the completion and other UI tips( eg, when the mouse hover on some ids, there is a function tip or when you enter some text, then there is a completion list prompt below your caret), it need to resolve the current code statement syntax. Currently CC's code is quite mixing. So, if you want to implement a D language, you need to implement a part A for D language, and only modify some code in Part B. ********** So, if someone be kindly and have the ability to modify the CodeBlocks source code (svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/codeblocks/trunk), will be a great help in extending D's IDE for cross-platform area. (CodeBlocks supports Linux, Windows, OS X, FreeBSD, etc.) Best reagards. David.

David.Which version of C::B do you mean support d2 complier?I use C::B svn 7040 but it failed to compile a test d2 program following instructioin your provided in the link.Nothing happened to C::B,no compiler found. I don't know y.

David Wang <osx.david live.com> Now I'm using the svn7075 (the latest is svn7076) in my Fedora14 x86_64 system(sometimes I also using it in XP). If you use Windows, please follow the instruction: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php? title=Installing_a_supported_compiler#Digital_Mars_D_Compiler_for_W indows If you use Linux, please follow the instruction: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php? title=Installing_a_supported_compiler#Digital_Mars_D_Compiler_for_L inux Best regards.

(CodeBlocks supports Linux, Windows, OS X, FreeBSD, etc.)Basically the first step is to introduce a "D" language, since it currently only knows C/C++... (The D support is treating itself like a "strange variant of a C++ compiler") Then write lexing/codecompletion/wizard code to handle it. --anders

=============== BTW: Would be good, if you also can keep our wiki for CodeBlocks up to date. http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?EditorSupport http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?EditorSupport/CodeBlocks =============== Because I have a user ID in codeblocks.forum, so I can add the settings for D into codeblocks's WiKi page. I don't have a wiki4d ID, so I think the better way is to copy the corresponding sections os codeblocks's WiKi page into the wiki4d page by yourself or someone whom has an ID of wiki4d. Best regards. David.
