Revision as of 23:26, 15 February 2007
This todo is for people working on fpc to write down what they want to do till 2.2.0 is released. It's not a wishlist what shall be done. Feature requests etc. should be added to mantis.
General
- Document changes potentially affecting currently working code to User_Changes_2.2.0 (all)
- Document regcal stack parameter order change
- Fix bugs with target 2.2.0
Compiler
packages (Florian/Peter)(2.4.0)Module handling rewrite (Peter/Florian)(2.4.0)- Crosscompiling to Mac OS X (Marco)
rewrite assigning of automated types like variants and widestrings (Florian)complete unique type support (Florian)- dispinterfaces (Florian)
- improve HTML rendering of IDE (Florian/Tomas(?))
Internal linker for ELF platforms?(2.4.0)better string append support (Peter)Use Sysutils (Peter)Directory caching (Peter)All path/filename handling in the compiler ansistring. (Thomas)- generics support (Florian)
- PIC support for Darwin/ppc and Darwin/i386 and compile rtl, packages and fcl with PIC support because non-PIC dynamic libraries are unsupported (although they work in simple situations)
- Fix all testsuite failures which are in 2.1.x but not in 2.0.x (all)
- bug fixing (all)
Delphi incompatibility regarding register calling convention (push order of stack based arguments) (Florian)fix bugs in *nix tthread.inc's (joining detached threads, possibly some more dataraces) (Jonas)
Binary writer generates incorrect debug info, for example enums do not show. (Peter)</strike)- Ansistrings/widestrings should show in gdb as string, not address. We can achieve this by emitting debug information for zero terminated strings.
Packaging
- Use fpmake for building (Michael/Peter)
- Use fppkg for package repository (Michael/Peter)
- get an initial set of packages for often used pkgs. (during RC'ing?)
RTL
- 64-bit file support for Solaris (?)
- 64-bit file support for MacOS (?)
- 64-bit file support for Netwlibc (?)
64-bit file support for Linux (Neli)- 64-bit file support for Linux/FPC_USE_LIBC (Neli, bug 7987)
Fix get_caller_frame stuff for code without stackframes(Jonas)- ARM badly needs mod/divide helpers in assembler
add {$optimization nostackframe} to objects unit and to all code which uses it (IDE, fvision)(superseded by r5146)- basic template unit (map and list) (Neli)
TFormatSettings (bug 6242).(Marco/Michael)- Make decision about threading in Linux (NTPL, unit libc) (bug 6280) (???, Marco is willing to help with the implementation)
- bug 7247 (TStringList incompat, Marco/Michael. Scheduled fro XMas week)
- bug 6824 (stored=false property storage, Lazarus angles?)
- bug 7947 (Syncobjs cleanup)
- properly scan and clean up sockets on all platforms (Ales, March 31)
- fix internal ThreadManager inconsistencies (Ales?, March 31? - probably not)
- Make declarations in Windows unit for WinCE compatible with those in the windows unit for Win32.
FCL
- DB: Restructure the db-testsuite (Joost)
- DB: bufdataset: implement calculated fields (Joost)
- DB: bufdataset: implement in-memory-filtering (Joost)
- DB: bufdataset: make it possible to use bufdataset directly, thus not only it's descendents. (like TClientDataset) (Joost)
- DB: bufdataset: save and read datapackets as XML (Joost)
- DB: sqldb: improve speed by fetching more then one record at a time (Joost)
- DB: sqldb: add the ability to make plugins (Joost)
- DB: sqldb: a backup and restore plugin for firebird (Joost)
- DB: sqldb: revise the TSQLScript component (2.4.0 ? Joost)
- If possible: set up a test-suite for the fcl, like the db-testsuite. In such a way thet it can be used automatically, just like the compiler test-suite (Joost)
IDE
Try to implement a TP like evaluate/modify window(Daniel)- Check and modify compile options window to reflect all new 2.2 compiler options.
