There is --ctags output in Dscanner

But be warned that I haven't tested it on Windows.

Very interesting. Is this Dscanner pluggable? I would be interesting
to use Dscanner for localization. For example it would be nice if it
could generate a list of all the strings that are passed to a specific
function.

This is how people generate localizable string to use for gettext.

Thoughts?

Dscanner has a tokenizer for D code, so it would not be hard to 
make a program that uses the tokenizer to swap out string 
literals.

Swap out? Not sure what you mean by this. I don't want to localize the
code. I just want to enumerate them all so that a localization team
can provide a catalog that could be use to do the translation at
runtime.

In C/C++ a lot of teams do localization by providing a #define "_"
that simply returns the string passed into it. In D this would be a
template that could be compiled out.

The cool thing about having this "_" macro is that then you can have a
tool that can extract all occurrences of such a macro. Gettext has
such a tool for C/C++.

If we want to leverage gettext in D then we would have to build the
equivalent of that tool for D. I was wondering if Dscanner can be
extended to do this.

Thanks,

Something like this:

writeln(tokenize(sourceCode).filter!("a.type > 
TokenType.STRINGS_BEGIN && a.type < 
TokenType.STRINGS_END")().map!("a.value")().joiner("\n"));

I'm booted into Windows at the moment so I haven't tested that, 
but it should work if you just want a dump of all the strings. 
The line-of-code feature works in a similar way.

Hi there.

So, anyway, have you found any live link to download Ctags 5.8
working for D programming language?

I found here
http://pastie.org/971968
and applied it to
http://dfrank.ru/ctags581

I downloaded compiler for Ctags, I mean, BCC32 and failed to
compile it.

If anyone has a Ctags 5.8 or 5.81 for D language, please~

Regards.
