xref: /minix/external/bsd/flex/dist/TODO (revision 366d18b2)
1* the manual:
2
3** do an end-to-end proofread of the manual (this is under way, but is
4   going slowly)
5
6** pretty up the dvi output; overflows, etc.
7
8** faq
9
10*** clean up the faqs section. The information is good; the texinfo
11   could use some touching up.
12
13*** index the faq entries
14
15*** mention that it's possible to use a variable to scan matching
16    brackets, nested comments etc.
17
18*** include something about lexing/parsing fortran
19
20** create a section on flex design, features, etc.
21
22* getext
23
24** make sure all flex modules use gettext translation facilities
25
26*subdirectories
27
28** in examples/manual, integrate the Makefile.examples into the
29    Makefile.am
30
31* test suite
32
33** integrate the test suite into automake's framework (note that the
34   test suite can be run from the top level directory with "make
35   check". Still, we want to get it completely under automake's control.)
36
37** make test suite more complete
38
39* generic coding
40
41** move as much skeleton code as possible out of gen.c and into
42  flex.skl
43
44** figure out whether we want to add the capability to have
45  auto-generated backout rules
46
47** token-type and token buffer support
48
49** check if we still need to #undef macros at the end of a header
50
51** merge yylineno into support for location tracking
52
53** bug where yylineno is not decremented on REJECT
54
55** bug where yylineno is counted in trailing context
56
57* C++
58
59** have a separate skeleton for c++
60
61** revisit the C++ API. We get requests to make it more complete.
