Calc Todo Items:
|
|
|
|
=-=
|
|
|
|
High priority items:
|
|
|
|
* Improve the way that calc parses statements such as if, for, while
|
|
and do so that when a C programmer does. This works as expected:
|
|
|
|
if (expr) {
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
However this WILL NOT WORK AS EXPECTED:
|
|
|
|
if (expr)
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
because calc will parse the if being terminated by
|
|
an empty statement followed by a
|
|
|
|
if (expr) ;
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
See also "help statement", "help unexpected", "help todo", and
|
|
"help bugs".
|
|
|
|
* Consider using GNU autoconf / configure to build calc.
|
|
|
|
* It is overkill to have nearly everything wind up in libcalc.
|
|
Form a libcalcmath and a libcalclang so that an application
|
|
that just wants to link with the calc math libs can use them
|
|
without dragging in all of the other calc language, I/O,
|
|
and builtin functions.
|
|
|
|
* Fix any 'Known bugs' as noted in the BUGS file or as
|
|
displayed by 'calc help bugs'.
|
|
|
|
=-=
|
|
|
|
Medium priority items:
|
|
|
|
* Verify, complete or fix the 'SEE ALSO' help file sections.
|
|
|
|
* Verify, complete or fix the 'LINK LIBRARY' help file sections.
|
|
|
|
* Verify, complete or fix the 'LIMITS' help file sections.
|
|
|
|
* Verify, complete or fix the 'SYNOPSIS' and 'TYPES' help file sections.
|
|
|
|
* Perform a code coverage analysis of the 'make check' action
|
|
and improve the coverage (within reason) of the regress.cal suite.
|
|
|
|
* Address, if possible and reasonable, any Calc Mis-features
|
|
as noted in the BUGS file or as displayed by 'calc help bugs'.
|
|
|
|
* Internationalize calc by converting calc error messages and
|
|
text strings (e.g., calc startup banner, show output, etc.)
|
|
into calls to the GNU gettext internationalization facility.
|
|
If somebody translated these strings into another language,
|
|
setting $LANG would allow calc to produce error messages
|
|
and text strings in that language.
|
|
|
|
=-=
|
|
|
|
Low priority items:
|
|
|
|
* Complete the use of CONST where appropriate:
|
|
|
|
CONST is beginning to be used with read-only tables and some
|
|
function arguments. This allows certain compilers to better
|
|
optimize the code as well as alerts one to when some value
|
|
is being changed inappropriately. Use of CONST as in:
|
|
|
|
int foo(CONST int curds, char *CONST whey)
|
|
|
|
while legal C is not as useful because the caller is protected
|
|
by the fact that args are passed by value. However, the
|
|
in the following:
|
|
|
|
int bar(CONST char *fizbin, CONST HALF *data)
|
|
|
|
is useful because it calls the compiler that the string pointed
|
|
at by 'fizbin' and the HALF array pointer at by 'data' should be
|
|
treated as read-only.
|
|
|
|
One should make available a the fundamental math operations
|
|
on ZVALUE, NUMBER and perhaps COMPLEX (without all of the
|
|
other stuff) in a separate library.
|
|
|
|
* Clean the source code and document it better.
|
|
|
|
* Add a builtin function to access the 64 bit FNV hash which
|
|
is currently being used internally in seed.c.

Calc bug reports and calc bug fixes should be sent to:
|
|
|
|
calc-bug-report at asthe dot com
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Remove spaces and replace 'at' with @, 'dot' with .
|
|
|
|
This replaces the old calc-bugs at asthe dot com address.
|
|
|
|
To be sure we see your Email reporting a calc bug, please use the
|
|
following phase in your Email Subject line:
|
|
|
|
calc bug report
|
|
|
|
That phrase in your subject line will help ensure your
|
|
request will get past our anti-spam filters. You may have
|
|
additional words in your subject line.
|
|
|
|
However, you may find it more helpful to simply subscribe
|
|
to the calc-tester mailing list (see above) and then to
|
|
send your report to that mailing list as a wider set calc
|
|
testers may be able to help you.
