* 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
** fix case of node names and generally make the manual prettier to read
* document what folks can expect when they get a cvs snapshot
* repackage the distribution
** address lex-replacement: document or provide an option through
configure for creating lex and libl.a files
** update gettext support from gettext-0.11 to gettext-0.11.1
** see about not listing flex-generated files and yacc-generated files
in _SOURCES as per automake manual
** subdirectories
*** audit all subdirectories to be sure they're in compliance with
automake and friends
*** in examples/manual, integrate the Makefile.examples into the
Makefile.am
** upgrade to recent versions of automake and autoconf
* 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 (Millaway has done
this, but it's in perl and that's probably not good.)
** 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.
** make sure that tests/ winds up in the distribution
* generic coding issues
** 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
** resolve the unistd.h inclusion issues; this should be done in
harmony with autoconf methods
* C++
** revisit the C++ API. We get requests to make it more complete.
