I would like to announce a new project I've started, called DLP (D Language Processing). Currently it's quite experimental but the idea is that it would contain a collection of commands for inspecting D code in various ways. It uses the DMD frontend as a library (the Dub package) to process D code.
What a timing. I am working on (slowly) on a tool that would get all struct and class declarations and for each of them get functions in which they are used. Then combine them with profiling data to find data structures that are hot and how changing them affects performance. The only code that is written is partially parsing perf.data file and the rest is missing. It would be wonderful if your tool could emit such functions then my job would be easy. Parsing would have been done if perf.data format was fully documented.
