TODO list for the uClibc 1.0.0 release:
+-------------------------------------------------
- *) mjn3's mysterious python select/poll self-test failure that he
- still needs to tell me about
+ *) Documentation updates:
+ *) Write a uClibc HOWTO document
+ *) Update README document
+ *) Update INSTALL document
+ *) Update docs/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt document
+ and fully document all differences between the feature
+ set of uClibc and glibc.
+ *) Update docs/uClibc_vs_SuSv3.txt document
+ *) Update docs/threads.txt document
+ *) Write man pages for ldd and ldconfig utility binaries
*) Perhaps implement glibc style frame-unwinding, so that gcc need
- not be built with --enable-sjlj-exceptions for exception handling to work.
- *) Implement some mechanism (perhaps encoded in the .so name)
+ not be built with --enable-sjlj-exceptions for C++ exception handling
+ to work.
+ *) Implement some mechanism (perhaps encoded in the .so name,
+ perhaps using an abi tag magically embedded into each object)
for flagging config options that break the ABI. Options
such as UCLIBC_HAS_SOFT_FLOAT, UCLIBC_HAS_THREADS, UCLIBC_HAS_LOCALE,
and perhaps others (finalize list) produce a lib with a differing
ABI. Make it so apps cannot use an ABI mis-matched uClibc.
- *) Implement the float and long double versions of math funcs,
+ *) Implement the float and long double versions of math funcs
using wrappers on top of the double versions (size / precision
- trade off).
- *) Delete current profiling code (because it is crap
- and only works when static + PIC)
+ trade off where size clearly wins).
+ *) Delete current profiling code (because it is complete crap
+ and only works properly when static + PIC, and because it is
+ quite intrusive, and because there are better ways to profile)
*) Fix profiling by adding missing stub functions per
http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2004-February/008167.html
and used by, i.e. http://www710.univ-lyon1.fr/~yperret/fnccheck/
*) Audit header files. Remove prototypes for all functions that
- are not supported. Especially needed for the libm headers.
+ are not supported -- especially needed for the libm headers.
*) Audit header files. When options are disabled, also disable
- them in the include files as well.
+ them in the include files as well by checking for the proper
+ define from include/bits/uClibc_config.h (pulled in from features.h)
*) Make all small objects (>~50 bytes) into either inlines or
into a static library
- *) Add support for Linux 2.6.x NGPL pthreads, futexes, etc
- *) Documentation updates:
- *) Update README document
- *) Update INSTALL document
- *) Update docs/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt document
- and fully document all differences between the feature
- set of uClibc and glibc.
- *) Update docs/uClibc_vs_SuSv3.txt document
- *) Update docs/threads.txt document
- *) Write a HOWTO document
- *) Write man pages for ldd and ldconfig utility binaries
- *) Fix regex so it isn't so stinking big
- *) Fix glob so it isn't so stinking big
- *) run 'nm -D --size-sort -t d libuClibc-0.9.26.so' and work on the
- biggest things (i.e. stuff at the end of the list) to make
- them smaller.
*) Cleanup / rewrite sysconf.c. It should get some information
from ldso (such as HZ). Other stuff it currently just makes
up, which is obviously wrong. Also bits/uClibc_clk_tck.h
needs to be updated at the same time to get proper HZ values.
*) __data_start needs to be added to any crt0.S files that don't
- currently have it. It is used by the boehm gc. mjn3 has added
- it to i386 and mips, but some archs are still missing it.
+ currently have it. It is used by the boehm gc, amoung other
+ things. mjn3 has added it to i386 and mips, but some archs
+ are still missing it.
*) It would nice if valgrind wouldn't complain about the atexit() malloc'd
memory for destructors, which happens since the dynamic linker calls
atexit(), which calls malloc() prior to valgrind starting, so valgrind
(recorded in the DT_NEEDED entries of the dynamic structure). The order of
initialization for circular dependencies is undefined." uClibc's shared
lib loader should be fixed to run ctors in the specified order.
+ *) poll emulation using select() for old 2.0.x uClinux kernels
+ in libc/sysdeps/linux/common/poll.c fails some python self-tests.
+ Of course, modern systems using the actuall poll() syscall work fine.
+ *) Rework the build system Makefile to eliminate recursive make.
+ *) Build both pic and non-pic objects where appropriate, so that
+ static libs need not pay the pic size penalty.
+
+
+TODO list for AFTER the uClibc 1.0.0 release:
+-------------------------------------------------
+ *) Add support for Linux 2.6.x NPTL pthreads, futexes, etc
+ *) Add support for Linux 2.6.x fast vsyscalls
+ *) Enable pristine source tree builds
+ *) Fix regex so it isn't so stinking big
+ *) Fix glob so it isn't so stinking big
+ *) run 'nm -D --size-sort -t d libuClibc-0.9.26.so' and work on the
+ biggest things (i.e. stuff at the end of the list) to make
+ them smaller.
