2 Erik's TODO list for the next release:
4 1) Finish up the reentrancy auditing
5 2) Better configuration system (CML1 + kbuild + menuconfig)
6 3) When fixing the config system, ensure that _every_ option
7 that is enabled or disabled is listed in uClibc_config.h
8 4) When options are disabled, also disable them in the
10 5) Make all small objects (>~50 bytes) into either inlines or
12 6) Rework code that fails POSIX conformance tests
16 *) Rework code that fails POSIX conformance tests
17 *) Document all differences between the feature set of uClibc
19 *) Add missing syscall() function to allow arbitraty syscalls
21 *) Fix profiling support
22 *) pwrite64 and pread64
26 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 Implement %lc (%C) and %ls (%S) handling for printf.
31 Implement grouping support and locale-specific radix.
32 Deal with mb format string issues in printf, scanf, strftime (at least).
33 Implement wide formatted output.
34 Reimplement scanf for narrow and wide streams.
35 Implement any other missing standard functions from wchar.h.
36 Improve customization of the new stdio code.
37 Clean up locale code and make it easier to build. (Fix alt_digits!)
38 Add collation support (initally for 8-bit locales) and implement strxfrm and strcoll.
39 Reimlement strerror and strsignal.
41 era support in strftime/strptime?
43 Reimplement _dtostr to correct its deficiencies (%A support!) and hopefully reduce its size.
45 Revisit the unified syscall stuff which has been broken for a while now.
49 Move the target-specific sysconf.c generator to extra (as it needs to be
50 run on the target) and fix libc/unistd/Makefile.
52 Add a usage message to the gcc wrapper.
54 Make errno and endptr handling the default in the strto* functions and
55 document how to turn those off to save space.
57 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
60 Search for string literals that are not in the .rodata section. (Varies
61 by architecture and gcc version.)
63 man pages for binaries
65 add obstack stuff for gettext (?)
67 check compiling without FP support -- are FP instructions still generated?
68 Needs a uClibc_config.h entry dependent on HAS_FLOATING_POINT.
70 Why does ld.so search /usr/powerpc-uclibc/lib before LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
72 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
76 *) Fix regex so it isn't so stinking big
77 *) Fix glob so it isn't so stinking big
79 - List all differences between the feature set of uClibc and glibc.
80 *) run 'nm -D --size-sort -t d libuClibc-0.9.5.so' and work on the biggest things
81 (i.e. stuff at the end of the list) to make them smaller.
82 *) make inb/outb work for all arches. This is complete for i386 and arm.
83 Other archs like powerpc, still need fixing.
85 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
90 bits/dirent.h currently differs from the glibc version (d_type unsupported)
