The Descent plugin for Eclipse provides an IDE for writing, launching
and debugging code in D.
Explanations on how to get it from within Eclipse are here:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent
The new features for this release are:
- Autocompletion now works for pointer to structs.
- Autocompletion now allows you to invoke function pointers and
delegates. They get an "()" icon, as well as opCalls.
- Autocompletion now shows aliased symbols. For example, if you have a
class with a method "void foo(int x)", and an alias "alias foo bar",
when completing that type members it will also suggest "void bar(int
x)". This also works for aliases like "alias foo opCall".
- Labels in outline view, project explorer and autocompletion
proposals don't resolve aliases anymore. Before, if you had "alias int
myInt; myInt foo" and "foo" was a proposal, you'd see it like "foo -
int", now you'll see it as "foo - myInt" (for this, current users need
to make a full rebuild by changing any D -> Compiler setting).
- Inside a function, autocompletion now works even if you don't type
anything: it will suggest anything that's in the current scope (and
enclosing scopes), plus members of currently imported modules.
- *Much* smarter autocompletion: now proposals are sorted according to
their type and the expected type in the source file, according to
context, so most of the time the first proposals will be those you are
looking for.
- Inside a "with(obj) { ... }", members of that object will appear
first in autocompletion. Here you also can press ctrl+space without
having typed anything.
