The ada compiler would suggest a possible identifier that might be the correct one when you misspelled a word. Even a case check would be very useful. Could we please have that :) It also means you don't have to know the case to use someone else class (just try the wrong one, and the compiler will give you alternatives). -Anderson

I think that should be the job of the IDE. Especially IBM Eclipse users are used to this kind of service. ;) J Anderson wrote:The ada compiler would suggest a possible identifier that might be the correct one when you misspelled a word.

phase the code. It would be nice if D could spit out all of the identifiers into a text file (in categories). Although that'd mean another compiler switch, which Walter hates.J Anderson wrote:The ada compiler would suggest a possible identifier that might be the correct one when you misspelled a word.

I doubt that Walter is going to add this to DMD anytime soon, but it may not be that hard for one of us to create a tool just to parse the source to reach your goal. Case in point: I just added a feature to my version of D2HTML to output a raw list of identifiers in addition to an .html file. They're unsorted, uncategorized, and redundant, but it's a start.

This is the reason why Walter is trying so hard to keep the parsing and semantic phases separate in D. That will allow all kinds of tools to be written that can deal with D source without having to know anything about the types or the identifiers that are present. In other words, it really won't be all that hard to write a tool that parses D source. You could probably do it in like 3 pages of Perl. ;) There will probably be a Perl library for parsing D soon. A full optimizing compiler, on the other hand, is a significant engineering effort. Some of those algorithms are pretty complicated!

I agree with everything you say (and with Walter's conception, too). In article <brubl2$9m0$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Sean L.

And therefore it ought to lead to removing much of the compile-time "safety" checks to other tools. I refer, of course, to flagging when a switch is missing a default break, the if ( x = y ) problem, etc. Then the compiler can focus on compiling. In article <brubl2$9m0$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Sean L.
