Arne was in Linköping yesterday, so we had an impromptu development discussion about whatever was on peoples minds. Here are my notes for further discussion:
* discussion ** remove constant evaluation timelimit for recursive compilation ** timezone compilation is slow ** Calendars documentation is incomprehensable ** Release 8.0 *** Not stable right now *** Does Bill want to be the release master? *** Backend fails on MacOS. Misses events. ** Don't support HEARTBEAT in SSL on the server ** remove class equals (too many equals) ** lvalues are the bane of performance ** Testcases and a benchmark for SSL are needed ** No backups ** Move _stuff to Debug module? ** Disable portable bytecode storage per default It takes up a lot of the allocated storage at start. ** Use Unicode versions of file operations on Windows ** Writing to the registry on Windows would be nice ** Figure out what todo about char normalization on Unix *** UTF-8 be default everywhere ** remove hardcoded char-encoiding in ASN-1 ** Fix sprintf table modes to... add fewer spaces? ** Prevent gcc unrolling of syscall checks ** Make pike_interpreter thread local ** Pike tracing support for line coverage ** move frame allocation into interpreter ** Put random debugging stuff into a common cmod ** Reduce the number of efuns ** Also more efuns! Things that are called from c code and are fast. ** A way to get a human readable function name everywhere would be nice But perhaps not possible ** Remove old conpat stuff. Begin with stuff that is more than 10 years old. ** Fix computed goto? *shake* Things points to maybe on ARM ** Is arrays incorrectly addressed by pointer into moved array ** extend string buffer to be able to read from it ** Kill ADT.struct? ** callback id is 0, could it be something better? ** Crashes with AIDO and encode_value on large data sets with several threads ** Add new git committer -- Peter Bortas
