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. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
