Binary package “dustmite” in ubuntu bionic
Tool for minimizing D source code
DustMite is a tool for minimizing D source code.
It was inspired by Tigris Delta and a thread on digitalmars.
Reducing C++ code also works quite well via --split *.{c,cpp,h,hpp}:d.
.
DustMite will parse the source code into a simple hierarchy, and attempt
to shrink it by deleting fragments iteratively, as long as the result
satisfies a user-specified condition.
.
Its use-cases include:
* Reducing compiler bug test cases.
* Finding the source of ambiguous or misleading compiler error messages
(e.g. errors with the file/line information pointing inside Phobos)
* Alternative unit test code coverage (DustMite can remove all code that
does not affect the execution of your unit tests).
* Similarly, if you have complete test coverage, it can be used for
reducing the source tree to a minimal tree which includes support for
only enabled unittests.
This can be used to create a version of a program or library with a
test-defined subset of features.
* The --obfuscate option can obfuscate your code's identifiers.
