A new version of DDT is out. Improvements to the semantic engine, important fixes:
https://github.com/bruno-medeiros/DDT/releases/tag/Release_0.11.0


There has also been some big internal changes lately, so these latest releases might be a bit more buggy than usual. (as exemplified by the regression where code folding and quick-outline were broken :s - and shame on me for taking so long to notice that)

Thank you! DDT is actually the most convenient D IDE at the moment.

P.S. Could I request a feature? a better support for dub subconfigurations (yep, I know, if I want something, then it's my fault that isn't implemented yet).

This is great, thank you!

Just to let you know, in release notice there is the text
"It is recommended that Recommend re-create project."
Im guessing it is meant to be:
"It is recommended to re-create you're project."

Yup, thx, fixed that.

Also fixed that this 0.11.0 version was being reported as 0.10.4 still.

A new release fixing a critical regression is out:

I just checked out DDT, and I noticed it seems to use DUB... >_<

Why this marriage? I was really hoping it would be a lot more like CDT
(ie, raw and flexible).
In the project configuration I just see the one "DUB Options" box. The
comprehensive suite of build options CDT presents would be much nicer.

DUB is insufficient for any of my projects, and sadly, that makes DDT
insufficient for my projects too :(
The problem with DUB is it's self-contained. My projects involve
cross-language interaction, and the build environments can be complex.
DUB can't express this.

I also couldn't launch GDB and debug the example 'hello world' app under Windows. Are there more steps to make this work?

Unless something has changed recently, it shouldn't require dub. Last time I checked, my CMake work[1] could still generate projects for Eclipse from a D codebase, using Makefiles or Ninja. Not that that helps if you are creating a project from an Eclipse Wizard, which I haven't done in a long time.

Just go to project Properties, Builders, de-select DUB Build and add any another build option or script you need.

If you're using DMD, that simply doesn't work at all. GDB doesn't understand any of the debug formats DMD outputs (COFF/MSVC or OMF), and it likely never will.

GDC for Windows is not maintained.

As LDC for Windows, I haven't tried it recently. Last time I tried it, debugging support wasn't working ( http://forum.dlang.org/post/qsttkqzbtnhyrogekppn@forum.dlang.org ). However may be that has changed recently? I dunno about LDC itself, but I've tried the Rust compiler for Windows, and although a bit buggy, basic debugging support was working: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RustDT/RustDT/master/documentation/screenshots/sample_debug.png
So the same should be possible for LDC as well!

Note: I try to collate this information in http://wiki.dlang.org/Debuggers , although perhaps "Debugging support" should listed by platform, instead of "by compiler".


If you absolutely must use DMD/MSVC toolchains, well there might be some hope int the future, since work is being done on LLDB such as to be able to debug MSVC executables: http://blog.llvm.org/2015/01/lldb-is-coming-to-windows.html
(LLDB has an interface emulating GDB, and as such should integrate with Eclipse and other GDB UI frontends)
