GNU cflow TODO list. 2005-11-25 Copyright (C) 2005, Sergey Poznyakoff * Introduction This document specifies the roadmap for further modification of cflow. It is subdivided into four main sections: Planned Status Overview, and three priority sections: High Priority Issues, Medium Priority Issues and Low Priority Issues. The entries within each priority section are placed in order of decreasing priority, the most urgent ones being the first. * Planned Status Overview The planned utility shall fully conform to POSIX specification of a cflow utility. See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/cflow.html The package shall have modular architecture: the `cflow' utility itself shall invoke an external program (a back-end) to perform a lexical analisys of input sources. This will allow to use `cflow' to analize source files written in languages other than C. The output format of the utility shall conform to the POSIX specification. The program shall also be able to optionally pipe its output to an external program (a front-end). This will allow for creating reports in various formats (e.g. graph, html, etc.) * High Priority Issues ** Divide and conquer: separate main cflow code (/src) and C lexical analizer (/back-ends/C) * Medium Priority Issues ** Implement front-end support. ** Provide front ends for: ASCII tree representation (~ current output look), XML/HTML output. ** Add new back-ends: Yacc, Lex and object files. These are required by POSIX. * Low Priority Issues ** Add new back-ends: C++, Scheme, Lisp... * Copyright information: Copyright (C) 2005, Sergey Poznyakoff Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute verbatim copies of this document as received, in any medium, provided that the copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved, thus giving the recipient permission to redistribute in turn.
