Ali The main problem with this is that it does not take string imports into account, (or does it ???, I don't see how it could ) Also the compilers output can depend on the timestamp at which the compilation was done. Yeah, doesn't look like it which means it might not be useful in projects that does a lot of compile-time stuff. There is no way to determine the import statements either as those themselves can be generated at compile-time. I can see this being useful for large projects that does not use CTFE but other than that I think it might just create subtle bugs because you won't immediately know that some part of your code didn't update and isn't working as intended because the code for it was imported from another file etc.

D IDE Dexed - v3.9.0
Despite of the mini drama last year I've continued developping dexed. The changelog since last announce here is a bit long, check https://gitlab.com/basile.b/dexed/-/releases for more information and get the releases (linux only).
DDOC generator Harbored-Mod - v0.3.4
Harbored-Mod is a lesser known documentation generator for the D programming language. Since the last release several old bugs have been fixed. The location[1] has changed too. - added support for anchors via anchor.js - enum member attributes are displayed (they didn't exist when the soft was created). - comments for enum members were not displayed. - fix a problem when collapsing the TOC in index.html - the template param for typed and templated enum was not displayed. - empty headers were generated, which has been revealed by the addition of anchors.
