Now, there is interest in having a D parser and lexer in
Phobos. I don't know
if your version will fit the bill (e.g. it must have a
range-based API), but we
need one at some point. The original idea was to more or less
directly port
dmd's lexer and parser with some adjustments to the API as
necessary
(primarily to make it range-based). But no one has had the
time to complete
such a project yet (I originally volunteered to do it, but I
just haven't had
the time).
I have another question. The parser need to parse the tokens into
some kind of objects, which I presume will be the current dmd
object structure? Many of the class members are only of value to
semantic and can be cut. But as much value as a parser is, you
need just as much work designing the structures of the objects it
creates, which is mostly done, by the way, it's just I'm not sure
what exactly you're trying to put into phobos.
