digitalmars.D - KDevelop and D ?

reply kris <foo bar.com> writes:
Anyone using KDevelop with D?

If so ...

1) how is the debugging support for D? Usable? Stable?

2) does the remote-target capability work as advertised?

Thanks much!

I'm not sure about your questions, as I never got that far. But I can tell you that the syntax highlighting for D currently is somewhat broken, I especially remember \" making a mess, and some of the newer keywords not being recognized. - Brix

This is more likely to be a Kate problem? At least KDevelop seems to use Kate here. -- Lars Ivar Igesund blog at http://larsivi.net DSource & #D: larsivi Dancing the Tango

Well KDevelop, Kate, and KWrite normally use the same "embedded advanced texteditor" backend. So yes, this isn't as such a problem with KDevelop, but it still applies. - Brix

It's Katepart. I made some fixes to the highlighting (including new keywords). You can try it out, just copy the attached d.xml to /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/katepart/syntax or wherever you have KDE installed.

I haven't used KDevelop much, just moved from Kate to KDevelop. I guess you need to start a fake C/C++ project to even see anything in the debugging menu. Probably that is also easy to fix by editing some project wizard xml file?

I sent the updated highlight file to the kate developers and promised to maintain it from now on. It's now available via the integrated update tools. It works automatically in all katepart using tools, e.g. kwrite/kate/kdevelop. You can update to the latest version by selecting (in Kate) Settings -> Kate settings -> Editor -> Highlight -> Load.
