https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24234 Issue ID: 24234 Summary: suggest imports of known/processed symbols Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody@puremagic.com Reporter: schveiguy@gmail.com Let's say you have a local module `foo` with a symbol `bar`. You also have another module `baz`, which uses `bar` but does not import `foo`. Something like: ```d module foo; int bar() { return 5; } ``` ```d module baz; int fn() { return bar(); } // error, bar not defined ``` For known functions/symbols, the compiler suggests imports. If you are missing an import for `std.stdio`, and you use `writeln`, the compiler suggests the import. But often times, you are compiling *both* `foo` and `baz`, and so the compiler knows there is a `bar`, and it can be accessed by importing `foo`. If you are already ending compilation anyway, why not give suggestions for the known symbol? You can even suggest multiple places where the symbol is defined if that is the case. -- |
