Currently, as far as I know, there are only two lexers and two parsers for D: the C++ front end which dmd, gdc, and ldc use and the D front end which ddmd uses and which is based on the C++ front end. Both of those are under the GPL (which makes them useless for a lot of stuff) and both of them are tied to compilers. Being able to lex D code and get the list of tokens in a D program and being able to parse D code and get the resultant abstract syntax tree would be very useful for a number of programs.
I fully support this. We desperately need it, I guess, working and maintained along language evolution. This is the whole purpose of the GSOC proposal "D tools in D": http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GSOC_2011_Ideas#DtoolsinD
Semantic analysis, introduced step by step, would be a huge plus. Denis -- _________________ vita es estrany spir.wikidot.com
