+ 0.84:
- declaration to do:
- test what is done in the case of an invalid declaration on an inline
recursive
- HELP: should not specify stack effect
- bootstrap speedup with compiling recursives
- load cocoa before 'recompile' call
- document inference errors
- update docs for declared effects
- RT_WORD should refer to XTs not word objects.
- fix contribs: boids, automata
- sometimes darcs get fails with the httpd
- gdb triggers 'mutliple i/o ops on port' error
- factorcode httpd crashed: bad file descriptor
- editor:
- better listener multi-line expression handling
- history doesn't work in a good way if you ^K the input
- services do not launch if factor not running
- roundoff is still not quite right with tracks
- fix top level window positioning
- [ [ dup call ] dup call ] infer hangs
- graphical module manager tool
- see if alien calls can be made faster
- doc front page: document stack effect notation
- better doc for accumulate, link from tree
+ 0.85:
- fix ui listener delay
- we have trouble drawing rectangles
- remaining walker tasks:
- integrate walker with listener
- <input> handled by walker itself
- ^W in interactor
- ^I in interactor
- error handling is still screwy
- continuation handling is also screwy
- keyboard commands
- editor:
- only redraw visible lines
- more efficient multi-line inserts
- editor should support stream output protocol
- slider needs to be modelized
- listener tab completion
- track individual method usages
- modularize core
- track module files and modification times, and a list of assets loaded
from that file
- 'changes' word, asks if files changed on disk from loaded modules
should be reloaded -- do this in the right order
- more compact relocation info
- UI dataflow visualizer
- loading the image should not exhaust nursery space
- problem if major gc happens during relocation
- in fact relocation should not cons at all
========================================================================
+ ui:
- figure out what goes in the .app and what doesn't
- should be possible to drop an image file on the .app to run it
- the UI listener has a shitty design. perhaps it should not call out
to the real listener.
- add-gadget, model-changed, set-model should compile
- shortcuts:
- find a listener
- find a browser
- find a help window
- they'll either focus such a window, or if the current window is of
that type, cycle
- support x11's large selections, if needed
- own-selection violates ICCCM
- editor:
- undo and redo
- transpose char/word/line
- autoscroll
- page up/down
- search and replace
- cocoa: windows are not updated while resizing
- grid slows down with 2000 lines
- ui uses too much cpu time idling
- see if its possible to only repaint dirty regions
- x11 title bars are funny
- rollover is not updated on window focus changes
- x11 input methods
- cocoa:
- horizontal wheel scrolling
- polish OS X menu bar code
- variable width word wrap
- structure editor
- loading space invaders slows the UI down
+ module system:
- generic 'define ( asset def -- )'
- C types should be words
- TYPEDEF: float { ... } { ... } ; ==> \ float T{ c-type ... } "c-type" swp
- TYPEDEF: float FTFloat ; ==> \ float \ FTFloat "c-type" swp
- make typedef aliasing explicit
- seeing a C struct word should show its def
- TUPLE: module files tests articles article main ;
- file out
+ compiler/ffi:
- ppc64 backend
- we need to optimize [ dup array? [ array? ] [ array? ] if ]
- mac intel: struct returns from objc methods
- fix compiled gc check
- there was a performance hit, investigate
- float boxing and overflow checks need a gc check too
- float= doesn't consider nans equal
- intrinsic fixnum>float float>fixnum
- C functions returning structs by value
- code gc
- infer which variables are read, written in a quotation
- compiled continuations
- compiled call traces
+ misc:
- compiler tests are not as reliable now because of try-compile usage
- we can just do [ t ] [ \ foo compiled? ] unit-test
- growable data heap
- incremental GC
- UDP
- faster I/O
- buffer-ptr should be an alien
- faster Unix stream-read#
- EOF kills a port
- slice: if sequence or seq start is changed, abstraction violation
- hashed generic method dispatch
- fix this:
[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 11 11 11 113 ] .
[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 11 11 11 113
]
- prettier printing of hashtable literals, alists, cond, ...
- httpd search tools
- remaining HTML issues need fixing
