Does dmd support outputting the full ast with symbol type information and full line mapping or will these features have to be added? If they are to be added, what would be a ball part man-hour cost to add these features? If we are able to integrate D support in to our IDE we will release the D portion of our IDE(removing the C++ side as it is proprietary) as a sign of good faith.
DMD is not really designed to be used as a library. Although there's been some progress in that area lately. There's a student that works on restructuring the compiler as a library. We have the lexer and parser available in a DUB package [1] to be used as a library.
I recommend getting in contact with Razvan Nitu [2] and Andrei about this. [1] http://code.dlang.org/packages/dmd [2] https://github.com/RazvanN7 -- /Jacob Carlborg
