Hi, I like D language design ideas and I'd like to help making it OpenSource. Currently I'm trying to write ANTLR grammar for the D. Is it interesting for someone? -- Eugene

There is no need for D grammar to translate to D. It's not easy to find comprehensive C++ grammar while Java grammar is available at the ANTL site. -- Eugene

I don't use parser generators because of the lack of control I have over its output, coupled with the problems I've had getting the parser generator ported when moving the source to a different machine/OS. The latest trouble I had was in using Bison under linux, which worked fine. Until trying to move the source back to Win32. The Bison win32 executable is a poor port to Win32, suffering numerous bugs caused by things like not recognizing \ as a path separator. Ah, you say since Bison is open source I could fix it myself. True, but I'd rather spend the time fixing my own bugs <g>. D doesn't need a parser generator anyway, because the parser is pretty simple (on purpose!).ANTL is a very nice parser creation framework.
