#Overview The D Completion Daemon is an auto-complete program for the D programming language.

#Status This program is still in an alpha state.

• Working:
  • Autocompletion of properties of built-in types such as int, float, double, etc.
  • Autocompletion of __traits, scope, and extern arguments
  • Autocompletion of enums
  • Autocompletion of class, struct, and interface instances.
  • Display of call tips (but only for the first overload)
• Not working:
  • UFCS
  • Templates
  • auto declarations
  • Operator overloading (opIndex, opSlice, etc) when autocompleting
  • Instances of enum types resolve to the enum itself instead of the enum base type
  • Function parameters do not appear in the scope of the function body
  • Public imports
  • That one feature that you REALLY needed

#Setup

1. Run git submodule update --init after cloning this repository to grab the MessagePack library.
2. The build script assumes that the DScanner project is cloned into a sibling folder. (i.e. "../dscanner" should exist).
3. Modify the server.d file because several import paths are currently hard-coded. (See also: the warning at the beginnig that this is alpha-quality)
4. Configure your text editor to call the dcd-client program
5. Start the dcd-server program before editing code.
