1* log: syslog, __file__ and __line__ automatically
2
3* have indexes with all publib-manual pages
4
5* manual pages should be compressed for Debian.
6
7* manual pages should have optional suffix
8
9* install should create target dirs
10
11* several module daddy dirs
12
13* build shared libraries
14
15* create some automatic testing (even if rudimentary)
16
17* config files: write back as well, and retain comments in the original
18
19* getaline: make it possible to restrict the size of one line
20
21* extensible printf; snprintf
22
23* something to replace scanf?
24
25* tab positions
26
27* isxdigit, isodigit
28
29* function to read from file/string C tokens
30
31* ...and C tokens in general?
32
33* guaranteed good random number generator, with randomize
34
35* bitfiles
36
37* dynamic arrays, multidimensional too
38
39* files: length of file, copy files and streams, move files (across disks),
40  get list of files in a directory, select files in list, do operation
41  for all/selected files in list (i.e., copy/move/rename/delete)
42
43* strings: approximate matching; non-null-terminated strings; fast strstr
44
45* rfc822 et al mail message handling; UNIX mailbox handling
46
47* dos framework: write program to read the list files to be compiled (scan
48  the modules directory's subdirectories) and output a BC++ project file
49
50* function to compare strings numerically: abc1 < abc2 < abc10
51
52* strexpandvars
53
54* bitarr: set, clear ranges
55
56* cmp: cmp_uchararr, ucharstr, cmp_schararr, scharstr
57
58* symtab
59
60* fname: /./ -> /
61
62* iset: hashtable+bitmap
63
64* expr: unget_token: error if ungot_count too large
65* expr: don't have globals at all
66* expr: on errors, free ungot tokens as well
67
68* automatic more for output
69
70* Template: not-explicitly-changing input files
71
72* recognize function keys / other key sequences
73
74* tmpdir - create temporary directory (to be deleted on normal exit)
75
76* handle errno correctly
77
78* dates and times, handle all timezones, all possible times (i.e., as
79  long a time range as possible), support the timesrc timezone db,
80  conversions to and from string formats; make it as a replacement
81  for normal <time.h>?
82
83* incremental searches from arrays (generic)
84
85* file copy, move, rename
86
87* get list of filenames; directory tree; display as ascii
88
89* bm or knp search routines (memfmem[setup], memfrmem, strfstr, strfrstr, f for
90  fancy)
91
92* compression
93
94* write text on library function design: degrees of tightness (Meyers),
95	uniform interface, how to deal with errors, try to define function
96	so it can't fail, use asserts properly to catch errors, don't
97	blend status codes and useful data, but do otherwise follow the
98	unix system call interface; memory allocation principles
99
100* allocation of fixed size blocks (handles a few sizes automatically, keeps a list of
101  freed blocks of the given sizes)
102
103* write better text on the design of the framework, the modules, and their
104	interface; write tutorial on writing a module
105
106* fname: there is no suffix in ".profile".
