I'm looking at this page and trying to download the latest CTags 5.8 with D patch compiled for Windows but i'm getting a dead link. Does anyone else have this file or can point me to another link?

There is --ctags output in Dscanner

But be warned that I haven't tested it on Windows.

Very interesting. Is this Dscanner pluggable? I would be interesting to use Dscanner for localization. For example it would be nice if it could generate a list of all the strings that are passed to a specific function.

This is how people generate localizable string to use for gettext.

Thoughts?

Dscanner has a tokenizer for D code, so it would not be hard to make a program that uses the tokenizer to swap out string literals.

Swap out? Not sure what you mean by this. I don't want to localize the code. I just want to enumerate them all so that a localization team can provide a catalog that could be use to do the translation at runtime.

In C/C++ a lot of teams do localization by providing a #define "_" that simply returns the string passed into it. In D this would be a template that could be compiled out.

The cool thing about having this "_" macro is that then you can have a tool that can extract all occurrences of such a macro. Gettext has such a tool for C/C++.

If we want to leverage gettext in D then we would have to build the equivalent of that tool for D. I was wondering if Dscanner can be extended to do this.

Thanks,

Something like this:

writeln(tokenize(sourceCode).filter!("a.type > TokenType.STRINGS_BEGIN && a.type < TokenType.STRINGS_END")().map!("a.value")().joiner("\n"));

I'm booted into Windows at the moment so I haven't tested that, but it should work if you just want a dump of all the strings. The line-of-code feature works in a similar way.

Hi there.

So, anyway, have you found any live link to download Ctags 5.8
working for D programming language?

I found here
http://pastie.org/971968
and applied it to
http://dfrank.ru/ctags581

I downloaded compiler for Ctags, I mean, BCC32 and failed to
compile it.

If anyone has a Ctags 5.8 or 5.81 for D language, please~

Regards.

Wake up dead topic! :)

If it is actually, you can use that https://github.com/snosov1/ctags-d.

I want to ask about Dscanner. Does it provide same formats as ctags. I use ctags with --excmd=pattern --fields=nksSa and output with them is different of Dscanner's output with key --ctags.

Sorry, if my english is not clear.

I wanted to suggest this link as well (snosov1 is me).

It is ctags 5.8 with the aforementioned patch applied and few other fixes on top.

It's not perfect, but works reasonable.

I didn't use Dscanner for that functionality much, but I expect it to have better quality.
