| 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.). |
| |
| Local Variables: |
| mode: outline |
| outline-regexp: " *[-+*.] \\| " |
