Visual D - Visual Studio Integration of the D Programming Language Rainer Schuetze

Use this command to install Visual D - Visual Studio Integration of the D Programming Language:
winget install --id=Dlang.VisualD -e

Visual D is a Visual Studio package designed to integrate the D programming language seamlessly into the development environment. It offers both project management and language services, enabling developers to work efficiently with D within familiar tools.

Key Features:

  • Project Management: Supports custom project setups with full access to DMD command-line options, including support for GDC and LDC compilers.
  • Debugger Integration: Extends Visual Studio's debugger with D-specific features, leveraging mago and cv2pdb for enhanced debugging capabilities.
  • Language Services: Provides syntax highlighting, error underlining, code completion, and smart indentation for improved coding efficiency.
  • Integration Capabilities: Seamlessly integrates with existing VC projects through build customization, ensuring smooth workflow within mixed-language environments.

Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers working with D in Visual Studio, Visual D enhances productivity by offering a robust development environment tailored to the language's needs. It simplifies project management and debugging, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than configuring tools.

Install Visual D via winget for a streamlined setup.

    Installation

    The click-through-installer will guide you through the installation process. The installer lets you select the Visual Studio Version for which you want Visual D to be installed. It will always install for all users, not only for a single user.

    To compile your application, you must have DMD, LDC or GDC installed. For LDC and GDC, after installation you must setup Visual D to find them: see Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Visual D Settings->LDC Directories and GDC Directories, respectively.

    Changes

    For documentation on the changes between this version and previous versions, please see the file CHANGES.
