DCD is an autocompletion client/server for D. It is designed to 
be usable by text editors and IDEs. It's still under development 
at Github: https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DCD

The reference implementation of an editor integration is for 
Textadept. Modules for Emacs, Vim, and Kate/KDevelop are under 
development by various members of the D community. Pull requests 
for other editors are welcome.

I decided to give it a try, following the instructions in the 
textadept folder, but quickly came unstuck with lua errors and 
some form of endless loop in textadept.

What I did:
built dcd
installed textadept 6.6
copied DCD/modules/dmd/dcd.lua to ~/.textadept/modules/dmd/dcd.lua
created new ~/.textadept/modules/dmd/init.lua with content:

_M.dcd = require "dmd.dcd"

events.connect(events.CHAR_ADDED, function(ch)
     _M.dcd.autocomplete(ch)
end)

started the server
started textadept
saved a .d file
got errors:
/opt/textadept/modules/textadept/menu.lua:365: attempt to index 
field '?' (a boolean value)
/opt/textadept/modules/textadept/mime_types.lua:97: bad argument 


any activity in the code window causes a repeat of the 1st error. 
file->close opens a duplicate code window (WFT?) and 
file->closeall starts an infinite loop of opening and closing 
windows.

I just checked in an example init.lua. I think that my directions 
weren't clear enough for someone who is not familiar with TA 
scripting. Give it a try now.

Interesting project. Out of curiosity, how did you implement the parser? 
Did you re-use any existing one?

It's hand-written and located here:
https://github.com/Hackerpilot/Dscanner/tree/master/stdx/d

The grammar I created while implementing the parser is here:
https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DGrammar/blob/master/D.g4

That grammar is more accurate than the language specification on 
the  dlang website. I kept track of the language specification 
problems that I found with this bug:

Thats awesome, as someone who came from Go this can give huge
boost to IDEs.

Very nice! How far along is the emacs version? What are the 
missing things you mention in the readme?

So I assume we have to save any changes in the file before we 
"ask" DCD for completion, right?

No, not necessarily. DCD can take input from stdin. So if your 
editor can provide the plugin with the content of the unsaved 
file it should be fine. TextMate can do that, for example.
