digitalmars.D.learn - how to parse mangled/demangled name into function name, arguments etc.

immutable(char)[] bootstrap_utils.util.replace_macros2(ref
immutable(char)[][immutable(char)[]], immutable(char)[])

I want to obtain function name, arguments, etc (eg AST as  json output
would show)
is there a reliable library solution that works in the potentially
complex cases where the involved arguments / template arguments are
relatively complex themselves?

thanks!

There's core.demangle, but that won't give you an AST and it will 
probably fail in some cases. I would try and modify core.demangle to 
produce an AST instead of a string. Perhaps this old project has 
something useful:

I actually started to work on that a couple of years ago. I wonder if I 
have the code left, somewhere.
