void addImport(string path);
Add import path to the global.path.
Parameters:
string path import to add
string findDMDConfig(string dmdFilePath);
Searches for a dmd.conf.
Parameters:
string dmdFilePath path to the current DMD executable
Returns:
full path to the found dmd.conf, null otherwise.
string findLDCConfig(string ldcFilePath);
Searches for a ldc2.conf.
Parameters:
string ldcFilePath path to the current LDC executable
Returns:
full path to the found ldc2.conf, null otherwise.
string determineDefaultCompiler();
Detect the currently active compiler.
Returns:
full path to the executable of the found compiler, null otherwise.
auto parseImportPathsFromConfig(string iniFile, string execDir);
Parses a dmd.conf or ldc2.conf config file and returns defined import paths.
Parameters:
string iniFile iniFile to parse imports from
string execDir directory of the compiler binary
Returns:
forward range of import paths found in iniFile
auto findImportPaths();
Finds a dmd.conf and parses it for import paths. This depends on the $DMD environment variable. If $DMD is set to ldmd, it will try to detect and parse a ldc2.conf instead.
Returns:
A forward range of normalized import paths.

Module parseModule(string fileName, string code = null);
Parse a module from a string.
Parameters:
string fileName file to parse
string code text to use instead of opening the file
Returns:
the parsed module object
void fullSemantic(Module m);
Run full semantic analysis on a module.
string prettyPrint(Module m);
Pretty print a module.
Returns:
Pretty printed module as string.
