Recently Vladimir Panteleev has ported the DMD Source Guide from
the old wiki to the new one[1], and updated it with up-to-date
information. I've added a "DMD Hacking Tips & Tricks" section[2],
which should help people new to the codebase to start hacking on
DMD-FE. I've only added a few tips that I know of.
If you regularly hack on DMD and know some good tips for new DMD
developers, please either post those tips in this thread and
we'll add them to the wiki, or you can directly add them to the
wiki. Everybody benefits from sharing knowledge about compiler
internals. For example, GCC has pretty extensive documentation
about its internals[3].
