Hi,

Being happy to see issue 3415 (broken JSON format) fixed,
I have written a utility to convert DMD2's JSON output
to Exuberent Ctags format.  This enables you to tagjump in Vim
and other editors/IDEs.  It's just 150+ lines, thanks to D2's
powerful string handling.  Enjoy!

http://github.com/Dubhead/d2tags

usage:
% dmd -Xftags.json foo.d
% d2tags tags.json > tags

Great!

I love it! I don't suppose you have a guide for how to get it set up and working in vim do you? I've never managed to get ctags working, even with C/C++ :/

Very useful, and a beautiful example of D scripting.

I wonder if this is of enough general utility to warrant inclusion within the D distribution, along with rdmd. Thoughts?

One small suggestion, Masahiro: you may want to replace the file reading
loop in main() with simply std.file.readText(args[1]).

Yes please, rdmd --tags would be great.

I was thinking of including the utility as a separate program.

I think it might be better to add support to the common tools, like exuberant-ctags[1], but having it as part of rdmd or whatever could be nice too.

Yes it's very useful. How about also including the source in the examples directory?
