Is there an official D grammar (EBNF or otherwise) or is the
language
defined by the DMD parser?
I am looking to continue Kingsley's DLanguage IntelliJ IDEA
plugin and for that it is necessary to have a grammar
specification. Kingsley has been working on one, but there may
be differences between it and 2.071. Given the compilers and
all the supporting tools either there is one language
specification they all work with or there is a lot of
fragmented viewpoints as to what D actually is. I am hoping the
latter is not the case.
There is a full grammar definition on the D Spec pdf file:
https://dlang.org/dlangspec.pdf
I also converted the whole grammar (excluding Allocator &
Deallocator Arguments) with some nicer names to a txt file:
