  4. …here is some code in C that was translated to D (it's part of the Digital Mars C++ compiler): C: https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/blob/dmc-cxx/dm/src/... D: https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/blob/master/dm/src/d... They look…

  5. …from the original C-with-Classes code. DMC++ itself underwent the conversion to D using -betterC. https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/tree/master/dm/src/d... It still looks a lot like C.

  9. …code: https://github.com/facebookarchive/warp and the one for the C compiler I wrote long ago: https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/blob/master/dm/src/d... which is integrated with the C lexer for speed reasons.

  11. For comparison, here's the C++ lexer for Digital Mars C++: https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/blob/master/dm/src/d... The parser isn't in its own file, it's intermingled with the semantic processing, a mistake I didn't want to repeat…

  13. …the list. DMD does a limited form of SROA I wrote as a proof of concept, it should be generalized. https://github.com/DigitalMars/Compiler/blob/master/dm/src/d... I've also written a loop unroller, but it can be improved:…
