ScintillaD is a D port of Scintilla which is implemented in C++.

Scintilla is an excellent editing component.

The GUI toolkit which ScintillaD lies on is WindowsApi on Windows.

The ScintillaD's APIs are almost identical with Scintilla's.
The changes to APIs are done mainly in order to use the properties
of D programming language.


Project url: https://bitbucket.org/heromyth/scintillad
Current status: Not runnable, but compilable and debuggable.

Fantasic :)

Once this becomes runnable and useable, do you have any particular plans for 
it? Any features you're planning to add that aren't in C++ Scintilla? (I'd 
*love* to be able to have support for elastic tabstops.) Or it is simply to 
be able to easily use Scintilla from D?

Have you found something in D/Phobos that has caused you troubles? After your
experience do you desire something in D/Phobos to be different?

In D/Phobos, there is a function:
	std.string.toStringz()
for conversion from an UTF8 string in D to null-terminated string in C/C++.

Maybe, std.utf.toUTF16z() can't support converting from an normal UTF16 string
in D to null-terminated string in C/C++ directly.
For example:
    wstring ws = "test";
    const(wchar)* wsPtr = std.utf.toUTF16z(ws);

Of course, I can do it like this:
	const(wchar)* wsPtr = std.utf.toUTF16z(std.utf.toUTF8(ws));

The new toUTFz (I'm not sure if that is the real name) in an upcoming
release will support this.

Hey zhang,

I see you can now run SciteD, but it still crashes of course. Does
ScintillaD have more bugs to fix, or just SciteD, or even both?

Never heard of elastic tabstops before. Thx for mentioning that.
