but I was curious if anyone happens to have a BNF grammar for D
laying around. I've searched all over and can't seem to find
anything.
I'm trying to make a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA to support D
(https://github.com/landaire/intelliD is what I have now
utilizing DDT's lexer) but a lot of what's required to add
advanced features like code folding, code completion, etc. is
generally autogenerated by JetBrains's Grammar Kit plugin which
only generates that stuff from a BNF grammar.
I know nothing about writing language grammars but based off
what I've seen it doesn't look like it'd be *too* difficult to
pick up, so if anyone also has suggestions for good readings
I'd appreciate that as well.
I've also been playing with getting a Intellij IDEA plugin up but
it utilises DScanner. The only issue I'm having right now is for
some reason its adding two elements to the Psi's tree instead of
just one. Where the second has correct data but first is the
correct type.
Not to mention getting dscanner to output the correct line
number/index ext. Fun times.
