TODO file for GNU m4
|
||
|
||
Tell <bug-m4@gnu.org> if you feel like volunteering for any
|
||
of these ideas, listed more or less in decreasing order of priority.
|
||
|
||
* Features or problems
|
||
- Fix format() builtin to handle %c more like printf(1) in the shell
|
||
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2007-05/msg00047.html
|
||
Also, gnulib needs help to overcome mingw bugs related to format().
|
||
- Update documentation from accumulated mail about it
|
||
- Study synclines at the very beginning of each diverted sequence
|
||
- Make eval work on bignums - the 32 bits limit is artificial
|
||
From Krste Asanovic <krste@icsi.berkeley.edu>, 1993-03-20
|
||
|
||
* Optimization and clean up
|
||
- Check for memory leaks and uninitialized reads
|
||
From Vern Paxson <vern@horse.ee.lbl.gov> on 1993-12-06
|
||
- Profile GNU m4 and speed it up
|
||
From David J. MacKenzie <djm@eng.umd.edu>, 1993-01-20
|
||
|
||
GNU m4 should be sped up by a factor of three for competing
|
||
with other versions (I think that the lexer is not agressive
|
||
enough and too often return single characters; obstacks might
|
||
be a little abused, too).
|
||
- Have NULs go really undisturbed through GNU m4
|
||
See `dumpdef' and debugging section, which abuses %s
|
||
From Thorsten Ohl <ohl@chico.harvard.edu>, 1992-12-21
|
||
|
||
path.c (add_include_directory): Why the '\0' terminator?
|
||
|
||
GNU m4 is lousy regarding NULs in streams (this would require
|
||
maintaining the string lengths, and avoiding strlen, strcpy,
|
||
etc.).
