Hi Guys,

I have written a small utility called dmd-ast-tool.
It can be used to quickly generate boilerplate code for dmd-ast-visitors.
Originally it was only written for my personal use, it used to work with a handwritten text-file representing dmds ast class hierarchy.

However I recently updated it construct the class hierarchy from ddmds source code.

It is pretty bare-boned, but maybe it can be useful to some of you :)

I have just added a bit of code to modify the ast-nodes.
It can also print a few stats about dmd.
For example the names of the visitors implemented in dmd.

You may want to consider adding it to https://github.com/dlang/tools

Yes, I will make it a little more user friendly, then I'll raise a PR.

Hello! Can you clarify? Does this program use ddmd or ddmd is just used as code sample for parsing?

It is a special purpose tool to get the AST-class-hierarchy of ddmd.
I would not even use the word parser, since it just matches a simple regex on ddmds source code.
It then does a correlation pass to determine parent-child relationships between the classes.
The resulting data-structure can then be used to display said hierarchy.
