* resolve the items in the to.do directory ** expand the above into individual requests and handle those requests * the manual: ** integrate the items in the faqs/ directory into the manual or code or similar *** create a section on flex design, features, etc. **** we're not adding comments between pattern-action rules; explain why in the documentation (because the ability exists as per an email from millaway) ** We've converted the flex manual to texinfo, but some issues remain: ** index flex.texi ** think about dividing flex.texi into more sections and subsections ** Have flex.texi use automakes version info. ** the pro-.man crowd will want a manpage; I don't want to maintain one. What to do? help2man, possibly. *** jason@thought.net notes that a short description of flex, a summary of command line options and a reference to the info pages will probably satisfy the need for a man page * repackage the distribution ** address lex-replacement: document or provide an option through configure for creating lex and libl.a files ** gettextify flex * test suite ** Rewrite tests/Makefile.in and friends so that users do not need to alter it when they add tests ** make test suite more complete ** create a script which sets up a new skeleton test directory with a correct .cvsignore file and other such niceties ** explicitly describe the copyright state of the entries in tests/. millaway has assigned the rights to the test suite to me and so the test suite will be under the flex license. * move as much skeleton code as possible out of gen.c and into flex.skl * create a uniform memory management API * figure out whether we want to add the capability to have auto-generated backout rules * C++ ** revisit the C++ API. We get requests to make it more complete. Local Variables: mode: text mode: outline-minor End:
