Please, please, try to rape dmd to do what you want first because 
otherwise you (like every other existing parsers in IDE) will fail with 
templates which are used everywhere in D (I mean std.algorithm).

A suggestion:
   Step 1 (bad performance): pass whole UTF-8 encoded source to dmd for 
recompilation every time (through memory mapped file, e.g.) and force 
dmd to write everything you want (yes, to mmfile because there will be a 
lot of information).
   Step 2 (better performance): stop dmd at some compilation stage (in a 
function context) and on user input fork dmd, give it new data, execute 
it, kill it. Pass whole source only when e.g. user start editing of 
another function.

It looks like we can't do anything better without good compiler-as-library.


By the way, it was really easy to change dmd to produce token 
information for token colonizing and it worked faster that Eclipse's 
Descent IIRC.
