How To Install dustmite on Debian 11
Introduction

on Debian 11.
What is dustmite
dustmite is:
DustMite is a tool for minimizing D source code. It was inspired by Tigris Delta and a thread on digitalmars.D.learn. 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.
