Hello,

I am currently working on template support for DCD [1], i made some good progress so far

I'm however currently stuck because libdparse seems incomplete, some information related to AutoDeclaration seems missing, there is a TODO note on libdparse, so i guess someone forgot about it [2]

If you are familiar with libdparse code base and are willing to help, please let me know!

Thanks!

I created an issue on github: https://github.com/dlang-community/libdparse/issues/482

Have you considered using dmd-as-a-lib instead of libdparse?

Ah sorry, I misread, you want to update DCD. We are working on a different project which strives to replace libdparse in D-Scanner. I think that it would be great if we could replace libdparse in DCD, but AFAIK DCD also uses some semantic analysis (dsymbol package).

that TODO refers to the visitor.

You are also inside UnaryExpression there, which is just the value. If you are looking for stuff from the AutoDeclaration, you need to look there.

For debugging you can use dscanner --ast < code.d to generate an XML output of most of the AST. (note: this is sometimes incomplete and does not always include all the fields that are actually in memory)

That's nonetheless a valid issue that was already rised:

The unaries are just not sub-classed.
