digitalmars.D.ide - BDE 1.0 Beta 1 for Windows

reply Alex Makhotin <alex bitprox.com> writes:
Hello,

The Windows version is ready for beta test.
It's unstable and tested to run on Windows 7 only.
Any previous Windows version may work also(except document browser, 
crashes on Windows 7 beta or Windows XP).

There are no new features, except some fixed bugs, comparing
to the previously released Linux version.

Should now autodetect DMD and GDB from the $PATH.
However, debugging isn't working due to 'not in executable format'
error from GDB on mingw on Windows.
Fixed some of the mentioned text editor missing features(keywords, 
comments, syntax highlight).
By the way, for now only tabs supported for indenting.
The source autoformat tool will be released in the next beta.

The download link is on the following page
(including readme file)
http://bitprox.com/en/download.html

Please, try it.
I would like to listen for your opinion.
Thank you.

So, I got two questions on top:
    (i)  is it free? (seems to be not cause I saw words "30 day trial")
    (ii) why source is closed?

And another one question what gui library did you use?

No, it's not free. Will cease working after trial period of 30 days.
You can read the readme_ru.txt file on the download link for more 
information. It is in Russian language, and in English as well.


    (ii) why source is closed?


You can find the License Agreement in the download package.
You can read the license_ru.txt file in Russian language, and in English 
as well.
It doesn't say anywhere that the source is in public domain.


 
 And another one question what gui library did you use?
 


wxWidgets with wxD wrapper library.


Thank you for your interest in the BITPROX Development Environment.

thanks....may be it is good that there is COMMERCIAL ide which will show

I think, good IDE could essentially attract attention to d lang.

I think, there is a need for both, commercial and Open Source, to 
attract more attention to the d programming language!

Matthias,

May I ask you:
What version of Windows do you use for D development?
Does the Document Browser pop up when you press F1 key while the cursor 
points on keyword in editor? It should open the help tab with the 
description of the keyword.

I've tried to debug the bdedocbr.exe and this is what I get:


bdedocbr!_Dmain+0x9:
00429615 e8d6fcffff      call 
bdedocbr!bdedocbrmainBDEDocumentBrowserMain (004292f0)
....

- after the call I get an error:

..\..\src\msw\cursor.cpp(366): 'LoadCursor' failed with error 0x00000714

- then after loading something I get an exception:
(3dc.b98): Access violation - code c0000005 (first chance)

Unfortunately, that's not enough information.
I suspect that I should recompile with the proper low WINVER number.
I compiled it on Windows 7 SDK, it might set the current version by 
default...
I probably missed it somewhere.

  I guess it can be like with MSVC: Express(Free) and Pro (Paid) versions.

It works great for me. I had not problem to set up a project and 
compile. I just noticed two points:
- create own folder for new projects
- use relative paths everywhere (eg. output-directory)
   this way the project doesn't break, when you relocate the project
- would be cool, if we also could include the ddbg-debugger 
(http://ddbg.mainia.de/releases.html) ?



 wxWidgets with wxD wrapper library.


does this mean, the IDE is written in D?  --> cool :)

greets
Matthias

I'm sorry, didn't understand.
Did you mean it should not create a sub folder for a project or I should 
make this an option?
Because it really creates a subdirectory for new every new project.

It supposed to work...
Thank you for reporting, output directory relative path is not working 
properly for me also, will fix this in the next beta revision.

 (http://ddbg.mainia.de/releases.html) ?


OK, I will check it, looks like it's on Windows only.
May be the solution if it works with D2, because I was considering
cv2pdb, which unfortunately depends on Microsoft's code and I don't know 
if I have the right to redistribute it.
Is ddbg-debugger still maintained or abandoned?

Yes, written with the D programming language.

Thank you very much, I appreciate that.
I'm working on bringing the next revision release.

Unfortunatly it's abandoned.
But it has an option to set the interface to GDB-mode (-cli=gdb), so you 
may not change the code to integrate the debugger, and it would help, 
until the support for gdb is finished!!
I have tried to set the debugger-command to ddbg -cli=gdb  => but the 
IDE adds an .exe suffix to the command...

It will not work for now, as I the '.exe' suffix doesn't fix the 
problem, requires some core changes because of order of arguments.

I tried ddbg manually to debug BDE. It started as expected, then I 
received this while trying to "Open Workspace" dialog:

 Program received signal SIG Unhandled Exception: (0x6ba) at 0x767BB727


 ...



Don't know what might cause it, but without ddbg the debugee runs fine.
