Now abandoned.\n\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5387680/60867836-91a88f00-a1e0-11e9-9dfe-49d95c269a0c.png)\n\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/5387680/60389194-5e446280-9a72-11e9-9269-dfcaaf349514.png)\n\n## Done\n\n### Planned Supported platforms:\n\n- Visual Studio 2019 16.1 for Windows\n- Visual Studio 2019 8.2.0 Preview for Mac\n\n### How it does/will work\n- Language service smarts are written in Go, using the token, parser, and types libraries\n  from the Go standard library to lex, parse, and type check the code.\n- Editor features talk to this language service through a thin inteop layer built using a\n  a combination of PInvoke and a cgo c-shared library with C language bindings for Go.\n\n### Historical Context\nScreenshots are from an earlier build which was a full, from-scratch language service for\nGo in C#. Since then, I have changed strategies to enable reuse of existing Go libraries.\n\nWe're starting at square one. The code seen here is a series of hacks meant to set the context.\n\n### Editor Features\n- Currently using TextMate for colorization and outlining and structure. Ideally we'll move\n  this to using the Go AST or tokens.\n- Error squiggles are directly output by the go/parser and go/types libraries as a result of\n  parsing and type checking the code.\n\n## Getting started\n- Install the Go development SDK.\n- Install gofmt and gogetdoc.\n- Build in Visual Studio 2019 16.1+.\n- Copy src/test-fodder to your GOPATH directory.\n- Open the file in the experimental VS instance.\n\n### Windows\n- Install Visual Studio 2019 16.1\n- Install Go SDK (expects C:\\Go)\n- Install MinGW32 GCC C/C++ compiler for Windows (expects C:\\MinGW)\n- Open Go.Windows.sln, rebuild and start 'Visual Studio Extension'\n\n### Mac\n- Install VS for Mac 8.2 Preview\n- Install Go SDK\n- Install XCode/Apple developer tools (needed for gcc).\n\n### Debugging\n- C# code is best debugged from Visual Studio.\n- It's recommended that you debug Go Code by:\n  - Open the root of the repo in VS Code as a folder view\n  - Install the Go Extension for VS Code\n  - Test changes using the debugger in VS Code against the 'testapp.go' file.\n- Native Go interop layer can only be debugged via GCC, so it's recommended\n  that you minimize additions to this layer.\n\n\n\nContributions and discussion are absolutely welcome :)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgundermanc%2Fvs-go","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fgundermanc%2Fvs-go","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fgundermanc%2Fvs-go/lists"}
