Hi,
I have uploaded a new version of Visual D. Apart from changes to the
build system, the semantic analysis is now considered stable enough to
leave experimental state. I guess too many people just didn't know that
it existed at all, because it was buried somewhere in the global
options. Although it hasn't improved a lot (no UFCS, no class templates,
no operator overloading) it seems quite useful.
Some excerpts from the change log:
* a number of bug fixes and improvements to the build system, e.g.
- new linker option to disable using global and standard
library search paths
- added preliminary support for upcoming dmd win64 compiler
- added console application project template with
configurations for DMD and GDC for Win32 and x86
* semantic analysis now enabled by default
* "goto definition" now uses semantic analysis to find declaration
* added build project to build Visual D from within Visual Studio
itself without the need to modify makefiles
* now installed as an "extension" to VS 2010 and VS 2012
* fixed spurious crashes due to bug in precise garbage collection
