I just ran across this website <https://cppinsights.io/> that does some pretty interesting deconstructions of C++ code, and I was wondering if anything like this exists for D. Apparently the main purpose is source-to-source transformation to better show what the compiler sees in your code before it gets turned into IR or assembler or whatever.

And to do the same offline, pass the -vcg-ast flag to dmd.

Hi AS others habe said before,
You can usw -vcg-ast which'll give you a d-ish Repräsentation of what the Compiler will put in the object-file. AS I am the author oft that feature feel free to tell me if information you need is missing.
