digitalmars.D.ide - Visual D 1.1.0-beta1 shows parameter storage at call site

Hi,

finally, there is a new version of Visual D being prepared. Apart from
updating the semantic engine to the latest (prerelease) version of dmd,
it features adding "adornments" (Visual Studio terminology) to the call
site of parameters that are passed by (mutable) ref, out or lazy.

See
https://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/images/parameterstorage.png
for some examples.

What do you think of this feature?
What about the slight inconsistency between struct member function calls
and UFCS calls?

If it's too annoying, you can disable the feature on the "Intellisense"
options page.

You can grab the new installer at
https://github.com/dlang/visuald/releases/tag/v1.1.0-beta1

Best,
Rainer

Initially I found it slightly jarring... but it has grown on me. 
I'm starting to like it! I'm leaving it on...

No problem at all. It is actually a nice "visual" clue that you 
are looking at a UFCS call. Handy!

Once more, thanks for VisualD.

Thank you for your efforts.
What about the following feature?
User is able to feed VisualD with the path to dub file. VisualD 
starts to track file modifications. It is a black-box for it. If 
VisualD detects dub.sdl modification, then it shows popup a-la 
"dub.sdl has been modified. Regenerate solution?" Perhaps, user 
should have an option to save additional command-line arguments 
in the project options.
So the rationale is to minimize visuald project regeneration via 
console.
We can consider CMakeLists.txt handling in Visual Studio for 
inspiration.

Visual D has some very basic dub support since version 0.51: if a
project is generated via dub, it has dub.sdl/json as a file in the
project. If this exists you can use "dub refresh" from the context menu
in the solution explorer to rebuild the solution, so need to change to
the command line.

Adding some watch for modification of that file seems like a simple
extension. Not sure if it will make it into the coming release, though.

Btw, my company wanted (earlier in 2020 anyway) to donate/support 
the development of Visual D specifically. Is that possible?

Thanks!

Thank you for considering supporting the project.

Mike asked me about that, too. I haven't been able to do much on Visual
D over the last months, so I am hesitating to set something up while not
being able to dedicate more time.
