|---|---|
| 0 | 1 1.0: |
| 2 ---- | |
| 86 | 3 - the CallVM-free functions are per VTable, however the latter can be changed out |
| 4 at runtime... which basically changes potentially the deallocator... | |
| 5 same goes for functions setting the mode. think about how to make this safer - currently | |
| 6 we have a higher flexibility and we need to potentially clean up from the mode we are in, | |
| 7 however, this is open to misuse | |
| 78 | 8 - check all vararg calling conv implementations if they promote correctly |
| 9 (e.g. float to double); we used to not care as it was the user's job to | |
| 10 think of that, but we allow users to use ArgFloat, etc. on "..." now, | |
| 11 taking care of the promotion; so it should be consistent all across the | |
| 12 implementations -> also write testcode specifically for that | |
| 0 | 13 - autovar was never really pushed all the way through and still plays second |
| 9 | 14 fiddle to dyncall_macros.h, clean this all up, eventually (Tassilo: for now, I |
| 15 removed out of sync files to avoid confusion; but still probably duped code) | |
| 0 | 16 - ppc32 callback fixes on bsd |
| 69 | 17 - add portable "make install" |
| 18 * make install should also install manpages | |
| 0 | 19 - mailing list announcements (html email?) |
| 20 - fix for NDS: | |
| 69 | 21 * ARM: |

| 54 | 29 - armhf ellipsis: fix weirdness with long long as first ... arg |
| 24 | 30 - support Solaris11 CFLAGS with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 |
| 31 - make sure selinux works (esp. regarding NX bits, asm might need (or similar): .section .note.GNU-stack,"",@progbits) | |
| 54 | 32 Daniel has a patch for it, if needed, implementing allocwx with two memory blocks, one for w^x, mmaped to one for r|x |
| 68 | 33 - support /SAFESEH on cl/win32 |

49 - varargs for mips (might exist, but test all ABIs (mipseb n64 already confirmed)) |
| 0 | 50 - consider automatic type-promotion for arguments passed through DC_CALL_C_ELLIPSIS_VARARGS; |
| 51 this would make it easier to just pass arguments instead of having to know about the C | |
| 88 | 52 type promotions (this is partly done, see todo-item above under 1.0) |
| 0 | 53 - syscalls for x64 |
| 54 * bsd | |
| 55 * linux | |
| 56 - other syscalls | |

| 64 dynload: | |
| 65 -------- | |
| 66 - bug: test/nm crashes on qemu mips linux o32 debian etch | |
| 67 - test/resolve_self crashes/asserts on windows and bsds | |
| 68 - rename SymsInit to InitSyms and similar for cleanup function to reflect naming | |
| 69 in dyncall | |
| 70 - get rid of Dl_info and friends (_GNU_SOURCE) in dynload/dynload_syms_elf.c | |
| 71 for implementation of dlSymsNameFromValue(..) | |
| 72 - check if PSP can support dynload (missing elf.h, dlfcn.h, etc.); fixup readme if successful | |
| 84 | 73 - some functionality like java's System.mapLibraryName('name') might be helpful? |

| 89 bindings: | |
| 90 --------- | |
| 91 - release bindings as standalone packages (already done for rbdc as a gem and rdyncall on cran) | |
| 92 * add note to documentation, where bindings are and that some bindings are svn-only ATM | |
| 93 - add rdoc documentation to ruby gem | |
| 94 - add pydoc for python | |
| 95 - add manpage for shdc | |
| 96 - expose callf-convenience functions to go | |
| 97 - add godoc for godc | |
| 98 - add javadoc to java | |
| 99 - add more bindings | |
| 100 - add callback support for erlang, go, java, lua, python and ruby (and shell? how?) | |
| 101 - add call-conv-mode-support for rbdc through signature | |

108 problems with multirow.4ht) |
| 0 | 109 - provide more examples on how to use dyncall, dynload and dyncallback |
| 110 * e.g. enhance manual with a couple of examples (e.g. calling MessageBoxA on windows, etc.) | |
| 111 - manuals for bindings (as stated in bindings-section, above) | |
| 117 | 112 - under "dyncall support", in each calling convention appendix, list crucial details of e.g. big/little endian support, etc. |
| 113 - specify integer models in use, use common ILP32, LLP64, etc. terms | |
| 0 | 114 |
| 88 | 115 regressions: |
| 116 ------------ | |
| 0 | 117 - finish SPARC/SPARC64 calling conventions in doc's callconv-appendix !!! |
| 118 - Haiku/gmake build doesn't build dynload due to the fact, that elf.h is not found | |
| 119 on default installations (one has to install the system headers) | |
| 120 * add to doc | |
| 121 - Solaris/gmake build doesn't build dynload and tests anymore (maybe not even dyncallback) | |
| 122 - test arm32/ATPCS/THUMB (and then change Status in doc Appendix) | |
| 123 - look over code and fix TODO or @@@ marks | |
| 124 - add ppc-support to doc (both, 32 and 64, as well as little and big endian remarks) | |
| 125 | |
| 126 nice to have: | |
| 127 ------------- | |
| 128 - update: microsoft visual c++ build files - integrate all test suites in solution file | |
| 129 - consistency: on x64 platforms: make both ABIs available ('win64','sysv') for all x64 OS ports | |
| 130 - microsoft build enhancement: autodetect assembly via C preprocessor (like with .S gcc files) | |
| 131 - test/thunk: some platforms do not allow for allocation of executable code on heap and stack -- | |
| 132 currently this test will crash, maybe we should collect information which platforms allow and which not. | |
| 133 | |
| 134 bugs: | |
| 135 ----- | |
| 88 | 136 - setting callconv, specifically for platforms that have only one (default)) excepts on some |
| 6 | 137 platforms, eg. setting X64_sysv on amd64/Linux - keeping cdecl which is the same in |
| 88 | 138 this case, works (this should work now...) |
| 0 | 139 - vararg function calls don't work for ARM THUMB mode (Daniel's new interface for modesetting for varag |
| 140 args should be used); adapt test/ellipsis and/or retest | |
| 141 | |
