digitalmars.D.learn - lexer/parser library for D

Are there any good lexer and parser libraries (like flex/bison) 
for D?  If not, how much work would be involved in using flex and 
bison and wrapping it to D?  How straightforward is it to pass a 
struct from C to D (the documentation 
http://dlang.org/struct.html just says that D structs go directly 
to C -- the other way holds too if the C side is written in a 
certain way, but gives no examples of what is needed on both 
sides)?

A POD struct in D is interchangeable with C structs, both ways. 
You just have to make the declaration of the struct in both 
languages.

Better to go to [1], where I combined that series of posts into a single 
article and updated a few things, too.
