Ok, typically one would use a lexer and not a parser. But using a
parser might be more interesting for creating more complex syntax
highlighting. :)
Actually I think I can use the new ddmd-clean port for just this
purpose. Sorry for the noise.
Sorry for the late reply, I was away for a few days, in a Net-forsaken place ;)
If ddmd-clean is OK for you, that's cool. Keep us informed how that went.
If you want to use Pegged, you'd need to enter the entire D grammar to
get a correct parse tree.
I just finished writing it, but I'm afraid to try and compile it :)
It's one huge monster.
I want to use Pegged for that purpose. So go ahead an commit the D
grammar ;)
Would be so awesome if Pegged would be able to parse D.
