No, I don't know everything, but I said "modified subset of D",
that would be a different language. Suitable for my needs (I
don't need RTTI or exceptions etc).
I know I can do it, because source-2-source compilation is not
that difficult and could be the first step. And (slow) parsers
are not so difficult to write with the tools we have today.
After looking at the SVN repositories for clang I am becoming a
bit more familiar with the source code which looked chaotic the
first time I looked at it.
The AST looks ok from skimming through the repository, I assume I
can get it through a visualization tool and generate visual
graphs of the hierarchies.
