dmd test.d -cov

..but no .lst file anywhere to be found. Huh! I don't get it.

Actually, the reason I got soooooo confused is clear to me now.

I have my own GUI IDE, which I wrote myself (winforms/C#) cause I got so fed up with creating/saving files everytime I just wanted to play with some code.

I can use 10 different languages in it...so far.

Basically, my IDE means I never need to create/save files manually, I can just write|compile|run (although it has save/open feature too ;-)

Unfortunately, it redirecs output of the .exe > somefile.txt (and my IDE reads that file back into a textbox within my IDE to display the results). I never see or use a command prompt).

This redirection meant no .lst file was ever created, hence I could not find it.

I spent an hour on this! Was so confusing.

I know of no solution to this.

Basically means I can't use my IDE when I use -cov

.. back to the command prompt :-(

is your IDE more of a REPL thing?

It's a custom IDE for me, that I wrote using Winforms/C# (developed in VS2010), that lets me quickly and easily write|compile|execute code in many languages without having to worry about first creating/saving files, or working at the command prompt.

I call it EZ Compiler ;-)

Here is a screen dump pic of it(not sure how long the link lasts though)
