I'm a little concerned about the current state of the generated JSON files.
As discussed on the newsgroup it is excessively verbose and inconsistent.
It's also incompatible with previous versions so tools relying on it need to
be changed. Visual D for example doesn't find any line number info or type
anymore because of a different structure, other fields are renamed.
(Unrelated to the format, but it also seems to cause crashes easily, though
I'm not sure yet if this is a problem with the size, the compiler or the
precise GC.)
It would be unpleasant if it changes considerably in the next version again.
I agree it blows. Since you're one of the few users of it, care to take a
shot at fixing it?
I'm not sure I'm the right person to do this, because I don't know what the
changes were aiming at. There's a lot more stuff in the JSON file now than the
declarations needed for browsing the source.
One of the ideas was to add enough information that a C .h file could be
generated that would interface with a D module.
