Sources are available:

http://reaaliaika.net/showarea.php/download/dwalk

dwalk.tar.ge opens to directory named dwalk. dwalk/dparser should contain 
link to DParser sources (you may also upload them to dwalk/ directory 
with svn etc).

Package contains:

- Sources: dwalk/src/ 
- Test files: dwalk/testfiles

About sources: You probably first take a look to main.d. Then you may 
want to look at the scanners (ScanXXXModule.d). Finally, you might want 
to take a look at the ASTWalk (ASTWalking.d).

If you get the thing compiled, you should have executable named dwalk, 
which can:

- Detect unused things; there may still be some false reporting, as well 
as it can surely undetect some unused things. imports are not checked at 
all. Nor templates (or they may be, if they go with the defaults).

- Detect expression result discarding, i.e. unused return values. There 
are some pecularities with "void main(...)" functions, which cause false 
alarms.

- Detect constant conditions, in for/while/do and if/switch; take a look 
at the testfiles/TestInfLoop1.d for seeing, which kind of infinite or 
dead loops are scanned.

Any reports, comments & suggestions are welcome :D
