| 1 | TODO file for GNU m4
|
|---|
| 2 |
|
|---|
| 3 | Tell <bug-m4@gnu.org> if you feel like volunteering for any
|
|---|
| 4 | of these ideas, listed more or less in decreasing order of priority.
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | * Features or problems
|
|---|
| 7 | - Update documentation from accumulated mail about it
|
|---|
| 8 | - Study synclines at the very beginning of each diverted sequence
|
|---|
| 9 | - Make eval work on bignums - the 32 bits limit is artificial
|
|---|
| 10 | From Krste Asanovic <krste@icsi.berkeley.edu>, 1993-03-20
|

| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | * Optimization and clean up
|
|---|
| 13 | - Check for memory leaks and uninitialized reads
|
|---|
| 14 | From Vern Paxson <vern@horse.ee.lbl.gov> on 1993-12-06
|
|---|
| 15 | - Profile GNU m4 and speed it up
|
|---|
| 16 | From David J. MacKenzie <djm@eng.umd.edu>, 1993-01-20
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | GNU m4 should be sped up by a factor of three for competing
|
|---|
| 19 | with other versions (I think that the lexer is not agressive
|
|---|
| 20 | enough and too often return single characters; obstacks might
|
|---|
| 21 | be a little abused, too).
|
|---|
| 22 | - Have NULs go really undisturbed through GNU m4
|
|---|
| 23 | See `dumpdef' and debugging section, which abuses %s
|
|---|
| 24 | From Thorsten Ohl <ohl@chico.harvard.edu>, 1992-12-21
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | path.c (add_include_directory): Why the '\0' terminator?
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | GNU m4 is lousy regarding NULs in streams (this would require
|
|---|
| 29 | maintaining the string lengths, and avoiding strlen, strcpy,
|
|---|
| 30 | etc.).
