It can be implemented as an external tool with the -deps compiler switch.

there is depend [1].

It warns about cycles and unintended dependencies if you specify the
target dependencies.
It helps us to maintain our commercial code base. src as well as unittest.

Hi Stefan, it was great to meet in Stuttgart!

This is a simple but very useful tool, it ought to be made part of the standard distribution. I just created https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15337, in summary:

1. Relicensing the work under Boost

2. Make the tool easier to use, e.g. have it run dmd automatically if needed etc.

3. Integrate the tool within the tools/ repository and make it part of the standard dmd distribution.

Good tooling has been a huge asset for Go - we could take a page from their book.

Stefan, Dragos - do you guys think you could take this to completion?


Thanks,

Andrei
