🚀 Oak D Parser

Crates.io Documentation

Systems Programming with Modern Agility — A high-performance, incremental D parser built on the Oak framework. Optimized for systems programming, performance-critical applications, and modern developer tooling.

🎯 Project Vision

D is a language that combines the power and performance of C++ with the programmer productivity of modern languages like Python and Ruby. oak-d aims to provide a robust, modern, Rust-powered infrastructure for parsing D that is both accurate and incredibly fast. By utilizing Oak's incremental parsing architecture, we enable the creation of highly responsive IDEs, refactoring tools, and static analyzers that can handle large D codebases in real-time.

✨ Core Features

  • ⚡ Blazing Fast: Leverages Rust's performance and memory safety to provide sub-millisecond parsing, essential for high-frequency developer tools and real-time analysis.
  • 🔄 Incremental by Design: Built-in support for partial updates—re-parse only what changed. Ideal for large-scale D projects where maintainability and tool responsiveness are critical.
  • 🌳 High-Fidelity AST: Generates a comprehensive Abstract Syntax Tree capturing the full depth of D:
    • Metaprogramming: Deep support for templates, mixins, and compile-time function execution (CTFE).
    • Object-Oriented & Functional: Precise mapping of classes, interfaces, and functional programming constructs.
    • Memory Management: Awareness of D's various memory management strategies (GC, manual, reference counting).
    • Comments & Whitespace: Retains all trivia, enabling faithful round-trip processing and refactoring.
  • 🛡️ Industrial-Grade Fault Tolerance: Engineered to recover from syntax errors gracefully, providing precise diagnostics—crucial for maintaining a smooth developer experience during active coding.
  • 🧩 Deep Ecosystem Integration: Seamlessly works with oak-lsp for full LSP support and oak-mcp for intelligent code discovery and analysis.

🏗️ Architecture

The parser follows the Green/Red Tree architecture (inspired by Roslyn), which allows for:

  1. Efficient Immutability: Share nodes across different versions of the tree without copying.
  2. Lossless Syntax Trees: Retains all trivia (whitespace and comments), enabling faithful code formatting and refactoring.
  3. Type Safety: Strongly-typed "Red" nodes provide a convenient and safe API for tree traversal and analysis.

🚀 Getting Started

Add oak-d to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
oak-d = "0.1"

Quick Example

use oak_d::{DParser, SourceText, DLanguage};

fn main() {
    let code = r#"
        import std.stdio;

        void main() {
            writeln("Hello, Oak!");
        }
    "#;
    let source = SourceText::new(code);
    let config = DLanguage::new();
    let parser = DParser::new(&config);
    let result = parser.parse(&source);

    if result.is_success() {
        println!("Parsing successful!");
        let root = result.root();
        // ... traverse or analyze the tree
    }
}

🤝 Contributing

We welcome contributions of all kinds! If you find a bug, have a feature request, or want to contribute code, please check our issues or submit a pull request.

🧪 Test Suite

We maintain a rigorous test suite to ensure parser reliability:

  • Lexer Tests: Verification of tokenization across various D syntax.
  • Parser Tests: Validation of AST construction for complex D language features.
  • Regression Tests: Ensuring previously fixed bugs do not recur.

Run tests with:

cargo test -p oak-d
