Calc Todo Items:
|
|
|
|
The following items should be addressed sometime in the short to
|
|
medium term future, if not before the next release.
|
|
|
|
Code contributions are welcome. Send patches to:
|
|
|
|
calc-tester at postofc dot corp dot sgi dot com
|
|
|
|
[[ Replace 'at' with @, 'dot' is with . and remove the spaces ]]
|
|
|
|
See also the 'wishlist' help files for the calc enhancement wish list.
|
|
|
|
Calc bug reports, however, should send to:
|
|
|
|
calc-tester at postofc dot corp dot sgi dot com
|
|
|
|
[[ Replace 'at' with @, 'dot' is with . and remove the spaces ]]
|
|
|
|

High priority items:
|
|
|
|
* Verify, complete or fix the 'SEE ALSO' help file sections.

* Verify, complete or fix the 'SYNOPSIS' and 'TYPES' help file sections.
|
|
|
|
* Where reasonable, be sure that regress.cal tests builtin functions.
|
|
|
|
* Perform a code coverage analysis of the 'make check' action
|
|
and improve the coverage (within reason) of the regress.cal suite.
|
|
|
|
* Create a Linux rpm (Red Hat Package Manager) package for calc.
|
|
|
|
* Address, if possible and reasonable, any Calc Mis-features
|
|
as noted in the BUGS file or as displayed by 'calc help bugs'.

|
|
Medium 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.
|
|
|
|
* It is overkill to have nearly everything wind up in libcalc.a.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* Consider using configure to build the calc Makefile.
