I guess the issue here is figuring out what does't work! :) Should I just try compiling code with sdc every now and again? I don't even know how much of the language works. The tests help a bit I guess.

You should run into something not working fast enough, don't worry for that :) Looking at the test suite should give you a good idea of what works.

If someone (maybe me) "is allowed" to change this I can complete my PR at

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/4379

that enables developing DMD in Eclipse with full intellisense and debugging support.

This is already possible without this change

Is that not possible to override? I've done that in the Xcode projects, works fine.

Of course it is possible in eclipse too :)

I've tried modifying "File Types" section in Properties for DMD project as:

*.c - C++ Source File
*.h - C++ Header File

and

src/*.c - C++ Source File
src/*.h - C++ Header File

but neith has any affect and Intellisense still fails.

What do I have to do to make this work? Please help.

Project->Properties

here select use project settings
and setup  *.c as c++ source files and *.h as c++ header files

than Project->C/C++ Index-> Rebuild

Thanks. So I shouldn't specify src/*.[ch] just *.[ch] then.

BTW: I still can't the debugger to find source information.
How and where do I the debug build configuration to call make with

ENABLE_DEBUG=1

as argument?

I tend to simply edit posix.mak and change CFLAGS there :)
