Code::Blocks has been around for quite a while. Have you tried its D support?
I'm curious to know whether it's any good...

Whilst I'm all for ubiquitous support for D (and without having used
Code::Blocks for D), I think that Poseidon and the Descent project will both
dwarf whatever support Code::Blocks has for D, and be more suitable overall
(given that Code::Blocks is very much focussed on C++).

What I would love to see, on the other hand, is D support in KDevelop. If
nobody's working on it, I might have to make that one of my personal projects
for this year. :)

Code::Blocks currently supports D as a "C/C++ compiler", that is it
thinks that DMD or GDC is some weird compiler with strange flags...
Support for D "proper" and support for Mac OS X has been pushed to
past the 1.0 release, in other to not delay that for another year.

That doesn't mean that you can't use D (or Mac) now, because you can.

The "native" D projects will probably be better (even ported from Java),
the advantage of using old C++ solutions like wxWidgets / Code::Blocks
is that you can use that bigger old code base and community for help...
And this is why the IDE projects for wxD 1.0 will be Code::Blocks 1.0.

Maybe even more notably, CodeBlocks supports "find implementation of"
and "goto function" for D files. This is probably just because the
edit-time C++ parser inherently understands parts of D.
I actually don't miss too much from my MSDEV+VisualAssistX or Eclipse
for Java setup, except for the refactoring tools.

I would also like it. I don't know how much work does it take now. I've
been using Kate for D projects and it seems to have quite good support
for the D syntax. Isn't the text editor in KDevelop using the same widget?

That is convenient, but I'm also looking for D-aware features such as:

- DDoc popping up where appropriate (similar to the way NetBeans/Eclipse 
do it for Javadoc
- GDB integration
- "Jump to definition" and friends
- Interpretation of compiler errors (e.g. ability to jump to the line 
that caused the error)

You have to use the nightly build of Code::Blocks to get D support.  Currently
it only has one D wizard that creates a D application.  I've been using it with
GDC and it ain't bad.  But what it really lacks is code completion for D.  It
also works with the Digital Mars compiler too if thats your preferred D tool.

Well, that what I'm using together with dmd 1.0 compiler seems to work fine,
except that gdb 6.6 doesn't work, or I just don't know how to set it up to
debug D.

The wizards could use some love, as they're still using previous D:

int main(char[][] args)
{
     printf("hello world\n");
     printf("args.length = %d\n", args.length);
     for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
         printf("args[%d] = '%s'\n", i, cast(char *)args[i]);
     return 0;
}

Converting that over to writef and foreach would probably be nice ?

import std.stdio;

void main(char[][] args)
{
     writefln("hello world");
     writefln("args.length = ", args.length);
     foreach(int i, char[] arg; args)
         writefln("args[%d]", i, " = '%s'", arg);
}

Even better would be if printf could just go back to std.c.stdio...

It's on the TODO, but so far it just uses "hello.d"
from the DMD distribution. (that is: Good Ole printf)

http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/codeblocks/trunk/src/plugins/scriptedwizard/resources/d/console/hello.d

Eventually it will select Phobos/Tango, and be integrated
with the other projects in C/C++ (Console and wxWidgets):

Feel free to drop by the Code::Blocks forums to discuss...

Well, it is not a new IDE, it is there for years... I use it for C/C++
development at the moment - switched in 2005 from Eclipse/CDT to Code::Blocks
because, simply put, Code::Blocks is an awesome project, constantly improving.
D support has been added last year i think, and I use that feature for more
than half a year. It was buggy at the begining, but now is pretty stable.

I would recommend it to any C/C++/D programmer!
