Hi,

there is a new release of Visual D available at http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/StartPage.html

Major new features:

- new linker option "build and use local phobos library" to get a COFF32 version (dmd 2.067+) or add missing debug info (dmd 2.065+)

- dparser updated with support for new language features in dmd 2.067

- new command "Compile and Disassemble" to show the disassembly of the current file in the code context window that is automatically synchronized with editor cursor movements. See http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/CompileCommands.html

- improvements to the mago debugger engine: set next statement,  show symbols and address labels in the disassembly window, list associative array members, load PDB symbols from Microsoft Symbol Server or local cache folders, support lexical scope blocks and more

See http://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/VersionHistory.html for the full list of changes.

Visual D is a Visual Studio extension that adds D language support to VS2005-2015.

It is written in D, its source code can be found on github: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/visuald, pull requests are welcome.

Rainer

Great, thank you very much for your work!

Very nice, VisualD is extremely useful. Thanks for all your hard work.

This is a really great release!
I missed the lexical scope support. I'll try that out right away. It's
been a long time coming :)

What is meant by "support lexical scope blocks" ?

void foo() {
  {int x;} // ?
}

Similar, it's more about the second 'i' being hidden in:

void main()
{
   for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      writefln("1 - %d", i);

   for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
      writefln("2 - %d", i);
}

See https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3657.

Unfortunately the respective PR is still not merged: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/2867

So, the lexical scope support in mago currently helps only with a manually updated dmd, or when stepping into C/C++ code.

Sorry for my last post - the system somehow eat my message

Cool.

How is the site under "D / Getting Started / IDE" updated?
Because for Visual-D there the column "last activities" reads "April 2014" - while other IDEs were updated a few days ago.

Just because such small details quickly lead to the impression that nobody works on the project, which is simply false!
