thanks.

Im trying to understand the idiomatic way of using visitors, since I am interested in making some tooling. I tried to understand the code by looking into some bits and bites within dmd.

example:

auto someFunc() {
  return "hello";
}

I parsed it' using Parser!ASTCodegen
created a class which inherits SemanticTimeTransitiveVisitor and parsed it into.

I override visit(ASTCodegen.FuncDeclaration fd)

Now the question is:
If I want to deduce someFunc's return type I look at it's fd.type.nextOf value
in this case it's null since it's return type is set to auto.

what would be the right way of deducing that it's return type would be fact a string?

Should I just keep traversing and that way deduce the return type? or should I use other methods?
I see that the ASTCodegen.FuncDeclaration has a function named

functionSemantic();

which I thought I should use, but failed to.

So I do feel, that I am in need for some learning materials or guidance.
