2 Erik's TODO list for the next release:
4 1) Release gcc 2.95.x native uClibc toolchain with
5 STLport (to provide full C++ support)
6 2) Commit new configuration system (CML1 + kbuild + menuconfig)
7 work is already done and ready to commit...
8 3) Fix profiling support
9 4) Implement getgrgid_r and getgrnam_r, per SuSv3
10 5) Fix libc/inet/rpc/rpc_thread.c thread local storage
11 6) Change HAS_FLOATING_POINT so we can support -msoft-float
12 7) When options are disabled, also disable them in the
13 include files as well.
14 8) Make all small objects (>~50 bytes) into either inlines or
16 9) Rework code that fails POSIX conformance tests
17 10) Document all differences between the feature set of uClibc
19 11) Add missing syscall() function to ports that are still
20 missing it. (x86 and arm are finished so far).
24 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
28 Implement %lc (%C) and %ls (%S) handling for printf.
29 Implement grouping support and locale-specific radix.
30 Deal with mb format string issues in printf, scanf, strftime (at least).
31 Implement wide formatted output.
32 Reimplement scanf for narrow and wide streams.
33 Implement any other missing standard functions from wchar.h.
34 Improve customization of the new stdio code.
35 Clean up locale code and make it easier to build. (Fix alt_digits!)
36 Add collation support (initally for 8-bit locales) and implement strxfrm and strcoll.
37 Reimlement strerror and strsignal.
39 era support in strftime/strptime?
41 Reimplement _dtostr to correct its deficiencies (%A support!) and hopefully reduce its size.
45 Move the target-specific sysconf.c generator to extra (as it needs to be
46 run on the target) and fix libc/unistd/Makefile.
48 Add a usage message to the gcc wrapper.
50 Make errno and endptr handling the default in the strto* functions and
51 document how to turn those off to save space.
53 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
56 Search for string literals that are not in the .rodata section. (Varies
57 by architecture and gcc version.)
59 man pages for binaries
61 add obstack stuff for gettext (?)
63 check compiling without FP support -- are FP instructions still generated?
64 Needs a uClibc_config.h entry dependent on HAS_FLOATING_POINT.
66 Why does ld.so search /usr/powerpc-uclibc/lib before LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
68 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
72 *) Fix regex so it isn't so stinking big
73 *) Fix glob so it isn't so stinking big
75 - List all differences between the feature set of uClibc and glibc.
76 *) run 'nm -D --size-sort -t d libuClibc-0.9.5.so' and work on the biggest things
77 (i.e. stuff at the end of the list) to make them smaller.
78 *) make inb/outb work for all arches. This is complete for i386 and arm.
79 Other archs like powerpc, still need fixing.
81 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
86 bits/dirent.h currently differs from the glibc version (d_type unsupported)
