I would like to announce a new project I've started, called DLP
(D Language Processing). Currently it's quite experimental but
the idea is that it would contain a collection of commands for
inspecting D code in various ways. It uses the DMD frontend as
a library (the Dub package) to process D code.
This first release only contains one command, "leaf-functions".
It will print out all leaf functions to standard out. A "leaf
function" is considered a function that doesn't call any other
functions or doesn't have a body. The use case for this is if
you have a code base that you would like to add attributes to.
Since most attributes causes the function they're attached to
be constraint in which other functions they can call, "@nogc"
functions can only call other "@nogc" functions, "pure"
functions can only call other "pure" functions and so on.
Therefore it makes most sense when starting to add attributes
to a code base to start with the leaf functions, the functions
that don't call any other functions.
Pre-compiled binaries are available for macOS, Linux and
Windows.

In all honestly I think the compiler should make some test with
regards to the system attrubutes and create attributes if it
passes or fails. @unpure, @unsafe, @gc.
The downside of this is the increase of compile time.
