Using dbeaengine in a runnable

This video shows how the disassembler library dbeaengine can be used in a runnable module to check the DMD backend production. The disassembler is fetched from the online DUB registry, automatically compiled and setup in the library manager. It's then used to show a weakness of the DMD backend (a constant is not converted, leading to 2 conversions at runtime) and to check a workaround.

Debug a runnable

This video shows how a runnable module can be debugged in the GDB commander widget. The runnable calls a function that returns an int. A breakpoint is put before returning and the result is patched in the CPU inspector by changing RAX value.

GIT gui as a tool

This video shows how to setup a custom tool that invokes git gui for the current project. The trick is to set the tool's current working directory with a symbolic string that's expanded to the current project location.

Compiler paths

This video shows how it's easy to select a specific D compiler on the fly: official dmd, upstream dmd, ldc and gdc. Here the choice is applied to the compiler used to make a runnable but the same setting also exists for the projects.

Library manager and runnables

This video shows how a DUB library can be downloaded, installed and used directly in a runnable module. The most important operations are made in the library manager. At the end and to make obvious the automatic aspect of a library selection, the runnable is compiled while the new libman entry is deactivated, which results in a compiler error.
