history

Project history and usage

D-Scanner is a command-line analysis tool for D source code. It sits in the D language tooling layer as a linter, syntax/style checker, import/token helper, and machine-readable reporting tool for editors and CI.

Project history

The project is maintained under the dlang-community organization and is documented as a source-code analysis tool for D. Its README describes native builds with D compilers, DUB-based installation, Docker usage, linting, autofix support, custom error formats, and GitHub Actions output.

Adoption history

D-Scanner's adoption is largely within the D ecosystem rather than general-purpose developer tooling. Its README notes that many D editors already ship with D-Scanner integration, while package entries in Homebrew, Nix, Arch, and DUB make it available through both system and language package workflows.

How it is used

Typical usage includes `dscanner lint source/` for human-readable diagnostics, `dscanner fix source/` for interactive fixes, `--report` or custom formats for tool integration, and `dscanner.ini` to enable or disable diagnostics.

Why package nerds care

D-Scanner matters to package maintainers because language tooling often needs to be installed outside the language package manager for editor and CI integration. It is a small example of how ecosystem-specific linters become system packages when they need a stable executable on PATH.

Timeline

  • 2010s: D-Scanner becomes part of the D language community tooling ecosystem.
  • Later: The README documents DUB, Docker, editor, CI, autofix, and `dscanner.ini` workflows.
  • Community era: The project is maintained in the `dlang-community` GitHub organization.

Related projects

  • DUB is the D package manager installation path documented by the project.
  • DMD, LDC, and GDC are supported compiler/build targets called out in the README.
  • D editors and GitHub Actions are integration targets for D-Scanner output.
