DLP identify leaf functions

[Jacob Carlborg]

I would like to announce a new project I've started, called DLP (D 
Language Processing). Currently it's quite experimental but the idea is 
that it would contain a collection of commands for inspecting D code in 
various ways. It uses the DMD frontend as a library (the Dub package) to 
process D code.

This first release only contains one command, "leaf-functions". It will 
print out all leaf functions to standard out. A "leaf function" is 
considered a function that doesn't call any other functions or doesn't 
have a body. The use case for this is if you have a code base that you 
would like to add attributes to. Since most attributes causes the 
function they're attached to be constraint in which other functions they 
can call, "@nogc" functions can only call other "@nogc" functions, 
"pure" functions can only call other "pure" functions and so on. 
Therefore it makes most sense when starting to add attributes to a code 
base to start with the leaf functions, the functions that don't call any 
other functions.

Pre-compiled binaries are available for macOS, Linux and Windows.
