digitalmars.D.announce - Visual D 0.44 released - VC project integration and Concord debugger

Hi,

I'm glad to finally announce the release of a new version of Visual D, 
the Visual Studio extension for the D programming language.

Among a considerable number of changes and bug fixes [1], this version 
features two major enhancements for inter-operability with C/C++:

- Visual C project integration: just add your D files to a C/C++ project 
and they will be compiled and linked with the project [2]

- Integration of mago's D expression evaluator with the Visual Studio 
debugger [3]

Other notable features are improvements to the Intellisense completion 
list and preliminary support for VS 2017 (no VC project integration yet).

You can find more information and the download link to the installer here:

Cheers,
Rainer

Cool, what about vice versa? C/C++ files in a D project and have it link in automatically? Or can it already do this?

To some extend, yes. The command line options must be specified manually, though, and must be the same for all C/C++ files. See the project property page "Compiler". If you need more customization, you can also use a custom build rule for each file.

Unfortunately, a bug turned up, causing the default dmd executable search path to contain a bad character. Here's a new version: https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/tag/v0.44.1

Small complaint here. Can the installer remember the previous install dir? I get tired of typing it in every time. It remembers the dmd dir just find(the next page). I know it's not that big a deal ;) But would make the installer virtually silent rather than requiring input.

As long as you don't uninstall Visual D, the path should be remembered. I usually just install over the previous version without uninstalling (no guarantee that this will work in the future, though).

VC project integration is now also available in VS 2017. Check out https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/download/v0.44.2/VisualD-v0.44.2.exe which also includes some bug fixes.
