I just tried Mono-D again and I'm having some problems.

* Running an application

When I try to run a simple Hello World application it opens a new empty terminal, nothing is printed. I also though that MonoDevelop would run the application and display its output in an internal console view.

* Go to definition and autocompletion

I have no idea how good these features are supposed to be but to me they work very inconsistently. I have one project where go to definition basically only works for what's in the same file. I have another project where it seems to work fine, mostly.

There is no fancy mixin or template code in these projects.

A few questions:

* Does Mono-D do autocompletion or go to definition from external files like files from Phobos and druntime?

* Can Mono-D resolve type inference?

I'm using Mac OS X.

Uses xterm (at least on linux) to display stuff in an external
console. Definitely wasn't my idea. There probably is the
possibility to redirect stin/out/err streams into some kind of
internal log or so - but then probably the question will rise up
whether one can pass input to stdin. Haven't tried it out "yet" -
yes, "yet" - though Mono-D exists >1.5 years.

That's where D magic vs. my programming ability comes into the
game. I can't and I won't guarantee that both works in all cases
(of course not) - all I can do is to make it run in as many cases
as possible. There might be couple of strange or uncommon (yes,
even common) situations where I haven't thought that these could
ever occur. In such cases, please note them down somewhere and
tell me what's not working as expected in particular.

Did you really expect I had finished implementing CTFE so all
mixins etc could be resolved? Again, please tell me where it's
not working. Since I spend most of my coding time working Mono-D
I don't really have time to manage D projects.
Completion-related issues may get straight to
https://github.com/aBothe/D_Parser please.

Yes. And it works for me(tm) - whereas I don't have any dimension
of what modules / completion features _advanced_ D users make use
of. I mean, as I said, I can't test everything - I need users to
do this for me :P

This shouldn't be a problem.

http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/?page_id=9#mono-d

Have you entered the include paths in the D options panel? If so,
sorry that it isn't able to parse Phobos by random. Shouldn't
happen after a restart of MonoDevelop.

Since I didn't know what the exact expected functionality was I wanted to discuss here first.

I see, so it's a problem with MonoDevelop. But I don't get any output, is that also an issue with MonoDevelop?

I'll try and do that.

Absolutely not. That's way I said I don't use any of these language constructs.

Will do.

I've reported a couple of issues now.

Got to bump myself up again. Released a new version - this time
with improved code indentation.

when upgrading to 0.4.8 i get the error below. Then monodevelop
crashes and quits.
so it is now unusable.
Also, can you describe what you mean by "with improved code
indentation" ? is that code formatting? I've been long hoping for
this!
Thanks!

Nice work, Alex, but something broke my GDB debugger support... :-\ I'm not sure if it's something specific to Arch Linux or not, so can anyone confirm that their Mono-D is work with GDB fine? Mine reports:

warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.\nDo you need \"set solib-search-path\" or \"set sysroot\

Awesome, again these problems - which MD version do you've got
installed?
3.0.6 stable? Then please switch to the
mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/stableMD repository
3.1.0 beta? Then switch to the mono-d.alexanderbothe.com repo.

If you're having a Mac system and try to use 3.1.1, please
"downgrade" to 3.0.6 stable in order to use the /stableMD
repository. I promise, everything will work fine then - I've
tested it on Win7 and Mint 13 x86 - It's been launched flawlessly
there.

With code indent I'm not meaning code formatting but the
automated indentation generation after e.g. you've pressed
<return> and it inserts 3 tabs because you're in a method of a
class of an other class.

@Fil: I haven't changed anything regarding GDB support (yet). I'm
sorry but I get myself desperate too about what the guys from MD
tend to do sometimes. ;)

OK, that made it work. Very low priority, but maybe it's possible
to provide 1 package that would work in both cases (if it were D,
something like version(MD_3_0_6){}else version(MD_310_beta)
else{...} but i guess it's C#).

thanks for finally tackling that! Now that the hard part is done,
couldn't there be a way to reindent the entire file (or
selection)  upon request (control + I on OSX for format doc) by
calling this function on each line or something similar?
(temporary hack and might be a bit slow but a MUCH needed
feature).

C)
A question about your choice for C# vs D: wouldn't it have been
easier to write the bulk of your code in D and interface with the
MD codebase through some C wrappers? Assuming there's less than
100 or so functions you need to interface with... That way you'd
be able to benefit from hopefully soon to be written code
formatting, parsers, etc.


D)
BUG: I unchecked the option "insert * or + at comment new line"
but it still inserts "+" after a new line in a "/+" comment.

E)
BUG: create a new file, open it in MD (by double clicking for
example), press a key (eg "a"), it gives the following error (see
below). We can press OK and it'll work, but that's still a bug:
