digitalmars.D.announce - Deadcode on github

Hi

   Some people have shown interest in getting access to the source 
code of the Deadcode editor. I haven't done this earlier because 
of lots of dirty bits I wanted to clean up first.

But I figured that it was better to get early feedback on dirty 
code than too late feedback on shiny code.

I have also opened access to the WIP website and the Trello board 
I use. In case anyone ends up contributing just ask for Trello 
edit access.

Here you go...

Website:   http://deadcode.steamwinter.com
Changelog: http://deadcode.steamwinter.com/downloads/Changelog.txt
Trello:    https://trello.com/b/ufLqwxVW

There are binaries for windows on the website but I have not 
verified them working on something other than the same machine I 
work on. So cannot tell if it work as expected - please tell 
about any issues.

I'll work on improving first time experience but let me known 
what you think.

/Jonas

TL;DR;

I currently use Deadcode when coding Deadcode itself except for 
debugging. I have not used it for other projects yet so you may 
find issues there.

Keybindings are a mostly emacs like but with some other standard 
included like ctrl+c/v copy/paste etc. The keybindings file can 
be changed to fit your needs if you don't like emacs style.

Useful shortcuts to know:

ctrl + m will show build panel
ctrl + p will show command buffer listing commands
ctrl + , will let you select current dub project files
ctrl + n new extension/file
f7 build dub project and show issues panel
f8 frame next build issue in panel and open file on line

Lots of other goodies I need to put in the docs soon.

You move the window on the menu button only (maybe I'll change 
that later - dunno)

Mac and linux build are on the roadmap.

You might need to boostrap your keybindings file to make it 
interesting. Haven't got around to automate this yet.

BTW, you need to prominently place a couple paragraphs describing:

what Deadcode is

I know... and you are right.

On the todo... just soo much more fun to code D than HTML.

Then use vibe.d and code it in D :D

As a matter of fact I am using vibe.d for the website. 
Unfortunately I found out that the iteration time is quite bad 
which is important for web development. It would especially be 
nice if vibe.d could detect if there is no D logic in the diet 
file and if not parse+render it directly at runtime instead (may 
in dev mode only). That way you would not have to wait for 
compile+link everytime you insert a paragraph you want to preview.

GitHub README.md is a natural place for such information.

How far you estimate it from being buildable/usable on Linux?

It was buildable on Linux a month ago on my server. Usable I 
cannot say because I have never tried it on a linux box with a 
monitor. It really hurts me to say since I've been a die hard 
linux user for many years, but my work the recent years has been 
solely mac/win which led me in this direction. That will change 
at some point though.

Meanwhile I'm happy to assist anyone willing to give a shot on 
building it on linux. It is currently based on SDL so with bit of 
luck it is not that hard.

i tried to build it, but no luck: it can't build libdparse. ah, the joy=20

is there any way to build some testing app that doesn't require=20

It is only extensions that using libdparse.

You should be able to remove extensions/language/d folder and the 
extensions/highlight/d.d file and make it work I believe.

I got bunch of errors from windowdragger.d amd guiapplication.d 
modules because those directly import windows api stuff and use 
types like `DWORD` and friends.

I see :(

The windowdragger.d could be fixed on linux using something from 
: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Mouse_position#C

The guiapplication.d is stuff for watching dirs, locating window 
position info, and getting default dir paths e.g. user dir.

Hiding platform-specific details behind a more abstract API 
wrapper would make adding linux support much easier ;)

Definitely. I've now made a branch "linux" on github where linux 
compiles and links successfully and that also includes steps 
towards abstracting stuff.

Thanks a lot. Sadly this branch still doesn't seem to compile 
because of other issues (that don't seem to be related to 
platform portability). I think I will wait for some tagged 
release before rushing into experiments :)

I fully understand. After the next release my focus will be on 
porting to mac and linux.

FYI: i successfully compiled deadcode on GNU/Linux. it still segfaults,=20
