1 Erik's TODO list for the next release:
3 0) Release C++ toolchain including libstdc++ linked vs uClibc
4 1) Better configuration system (CML1 + kbuild + menuconfig)
5 2) When fixing the config system, ensure that _every_ option
6 that is enabled or disabled is listed in uClibc_config.h
7 3) When options are disabled, also disable them in the
9 4) Make all small objects (>~50 bytes) into either inlines or
11 5) Fix Manuel's signal bug
12 6) Add struct _res support to libc/inet/resolv.c. Right now,
13 struct _res, and res_init do nothing. The other res_*
14 functions are not yet implemented. So fix that.
15 7) Fix uClibc timezone support so date(1) will show a real
16 timezone, instead of just '???'
17 8) Rework some?/most?/all? code that fails POSIX conformance tests
18 9) Fix the bugs in crypt so it passes conformance tests
19 10) Reentrancy auditing
20 11) Rework pwd/grp for standards compliance (and integrate
21 Jeff Garzik's key-value reading code for pwd/grp, and
22 perhaps for /etc/hosts and friends as well)
26 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Implement wide unformatted i/o. (current project)
31 Implement wide formatted output (printf).
33 Update the strto* funcs to my current versions to remove the dependency
34 on the long long support funcs from libgcc.a.
36 Update some other stdlib and (possibly) string funcs.
38 Update the ctype code to my latest stuff... smaller plus supports new isblank()
39 for locales while still keeping byte table entries.
41 Reimplement scanf for narrow and wide streams.
43 Improve customization of the new stdio code.
45 Reimplement _dtostr to correct its deficiencies and hopefully reduce its size.
47 Revisit the unified syscall stuff which has been broken for a while now.
51 Move the target-specific sysconf.c generator to extra (as it needs to be
52 run on the target) and fix libc/unistd/Makefile.
54 Add a usage message to the gcc wrapper.
56 Make errno and endptr handling the default in the strto* functions and
57 document how to turn those off to save space.
59 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
62 Search for string literals that are not in the .rodata section. (Varies
63 by architecture and gcc version.)
65 man pages for binaries
67 add obstack stuff for gettext (?)
69 check compiling without FP support -- are FP instructions still generated?
70 Needs a uClibc_config.h entry dependent on HAS_FLOATING_POINT.
72 Why does ld.so search /usr/powerpc-uclibc/lib before LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
74 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
78 *) Fix regex so it isn't so stinking big
79 *) Fix glob so it isn't so stinking big
80 *) Add missing syscall() function to allow arbitraty syscalls to be made.
82 - List all differences between the feature set of uClibc and glibc.
83 *) run 'nm -D --size-sort -t d libuClibc-0.9.5.so' and work on the biggest things
84 (i.e. stuff at the end of the list) to make them smaller.
85 *) make inb/outb work for all arches. This is complete for i386 and arm.
86 Other archs like powerpc, still need fixing.
88 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
93 bits/dirent.h currently differs from the glibc version (d_type unsupported)
