Recently Vladimir Panteleev has ported the DMD Source Guide
from the old wiki to the new one[1], and updated it with
up-to-date information. I've added a "DMD Hacking Tips &
Tricks" section[2], which should help people new to the
codebase to start hacking on DMD-FE. I've only added a few tips
that I know of.
If you regularly hack on DMD and know some good tips for new
DMD developers, please either post those tips in this thread
and we'll add them to the wiki, or you can directly add them to
the wiki. Everybody benefits from sharing knowledge about
compiler internals. For example, GCC has pretty extensive
documentation about its internals[3].

Just for clarification, the parsing method which dmd use is a
recursive descent parser, right?
