Hello all,

I am looking for:

1) A grammar for D, which I suppose it's available.
2) A tool for generting a D AST (Abstract Syntax Tree).

I assume the second one is available thru the compiler, but not 
necessarily in D or in a digestable way.

Thanks for any info,

Andres

The D docs provide the only publicly available (BNF) grammar 
parts I am aware of:

The source for the whole front end of the compiler is in the 
dmd/src directory if you download it:

There has been somebody on this newsgroup who, released a grammar for 
antlr. I don't exactly know which post it was, but maybe sombody else 
remembers...

I'm sure someone released some sort of grammar a while ago, but I think that the
last time antlr was discussed, no one released anything. Here's the thread I
found: http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/4953

Walter hasn't written a complete, formal grammar.  There is this, though:
