Saad

The Saad language in VS Code: highlighting, errors as you type, go to definition, find references, hover, outline, completion, signature help, rename and quick fixes for .sd files.

The compiler and the language server

The extension starts the language server of Saad, which uses the compiler. Both come from the Saad repository:

saad build lsp/main.sd          # lsp/build/out.exe, the language server

• When the Saad repository is open, the compiler is bin/saad.exe and the server is lsp/build/out.exe. When the server isn't built yet, the extension asks to build it.
• For another project, set saad.compilerPath to the compiler, e.g C:/dev/Saad/bin/saad.exe. The server is found in the repository the compiler is in.

Settings

• saad.compilerPath: the compiler. By default bin/saad.exe of the workspace, or saad on the PATH.
• saad.serverPath: the server. By default lsp/build/out.exe of the repository the compiler is in.
• saad.trace.server: messages shows what VS Code and the server send each other, in the Output panel.

Commands

• Saad: Restart the language server
• Saad: Build the language server
