I use your project right now, and I must say, that works very well. But it does not parse constructors. And it is important. I've created issue in your project about this. I think, it reasonable, talk about this on github.

FYI the Zeus IDE uses ctags and many years ago I updated ctags
to have some understanding of the D language.

Those code changes where made against the last 5.8 version and
they can be found here:

http://www.zeusedit.com/z300/ctags_src.zip

But as I said earlier those changes are quite old, so I don't
know how well they work with the current D language.

The ctags output is implemented in this file: https://github.com/Hackerpilot/Dscanner/blob/master/src/ctags.d. It's less than 200 lines long so you should be able to modify it easily.

Is there any tutorial articles for Dscanner/libdparse, they look like awesome tools!

It sounds good. I think, that I can figure out code and patch. Thank you)

There seems to be an effort to resurrect ctags[1] so i've taken the D language support from this patch and applied it to the newly resurrected ctags.

Great news!

It would be great to have support for new alias declarations :)

Believe it or not these are already supported. They are grouped in with typedefs IIRC.

Actually looking at the output it seems aliases are only recognised if defined in module scope, then it parses them as a typedef.

Great. I'll be working on porting over changes from Geany's D parser, which I've been maintaining for some years. It has a lot of fixes which look like they'll be useful.
