The translation tool is available on github and is boost licensed.

This pull request contains the latest version in src/magicport - https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/3410

Please keep in mind that the tool makes a lot of assumptions about the C++ source that may not be valid for projects other than dmd.  It's fairly easy to adapt to other projects, but it won't work on them out of the box.

I've pushed a new version which should fix the 64-bit build errors.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

I have a bit similar project - lexer for D written in D.
Written just based on "Lexical" documentation page.

https://github.com/buggins/ddc

Trying make it fast and to do as few memory allocations as possible.

It will be really cool when same package will be reused by DMD itself :P

I believe ddmd has passed all tests on most platforms for a long time now, so there is nothing stopping those building from source from using ddmd now. :)

Should also make it available on code.dlang.org
