Made lots of progress on Java bridge (checkpoint).

[cycript.git] / todo.txt

lol
unicode identifier support (native and \u)
support unions (right now 0-1 fields parsed as struct)
look into what String is, and whether to bridge it
some JS callbacks don't use exception pointers at all...
a newline needs to not be allowed after a unary *
finish implementing default xml namespace statement
encode newlines in history for later replay (psql uses ^A)

consider replacing regex literals with constructors
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98409
numerification needs to use specific precision values
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5856
consider a mode where unicode string content is saved
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274152

NSDictionaries that have NSNumber keys don't getProperty
CYPoolTry/Catch now carefully save the exception after it /no longer needs the exception/... uhh... wtf?
throw CYJSError should probably be replaced with CYThrow() across the board
figure out what to do about global context refs: I really really want to retain the bastards
the concept of NULL pooling is entirely incorrect and sad... bad... evil... need to work on this... really
NSArray's .toString() and .toLocaleString() fail hard, as Array.prototype.to*String are Array-specific
applyOnMainThread, when done at console, loops the cyonifier
special work needs to be done to correctly handle the "arguments" symbol: Declare("arguments", ...Special)
at the Program level I seem to be eating away all of the var statements
I should probably attempt to use the auto_ flag somehow to not do contexts_ push when compiling
Object_callAsFunction_toCYON should be implemented

[NSString stringWithString:""] crashes, on linux, not on mac
GS #defines should be _finline

replace procmod g+s with gdb's macosx_get_task_for_pid_rights
non-local return prologue is not being Replace()d: multipass compiler!
interpretation of documentation comments should be compiler-only and off by default

semi-colon insertion warnings should mark after the previous token, not on the current one: makes a /lot/ more sense

output errors during Trampoline to some kind of log file

there is a reinterpret_cast<> that I replaced with an old-style cast on the output of dladdr

why do I never deallocate ffi closures?

make a reference holder for namearrays
rename names to accumulator when it is a name accumulator, and retake names for subset
I believe calls to mutableCopy will leak memory
consider pointerTo instead of toPointer
store the last exception in a variable
should WebUndefined be @undefined?

if something is a function, it should be output differently
verify name targets of "incorrect number of arguments to"
maybe support __objc_{yes,no} intrinisic primitives

support new objective-c subscript notation:
  id key = ...;
  id value = object[key];
  -> id value = [object objectForKeyedSubscript:key];
  object[key] = newValue;
  -> [object setObject:newValue forKeyedSubscript:key];
and:
  NSUInteger idx = ...;
  id value = object[idx];
  -> id value = [object objectAtIndexedSubscript:idx];
  object[idx] = newValue;
  -> [object setObject:newValue atIndexedSubscript:idx];

use JSObjectMakeError to build exception objects
replace cy$getProperty's return value with JSValueRef

cy# {{5,6};6;{7;{8;5}}}
got: {5,6;6;{7;8,5}}
wanted: 5,6,6,7,8,5

cy# for each (var i = 9 in [1, 2]) system.print(i);
cy= {i=9;(function($cys,$cyt){for($cyt in $cys){i=$cys[$cyt];system.print(i)}})([1,2])}
cy# {i=9;(function($cys,$cyt){for($cyt in $cys){i=$cys[$cyt];system.print(i)}})([1,2])}
cy= i=9,function(e,t){var e,t;for(t in e)i=e[t],system.print(i)}([1,2])
wanted: i=9,function(e,t){for(t in e)i=e[t],system.print(i)}([1,2])

with is being translated in a manner that doesn't handle variables
cy# function b() { for each (var t in a) {} }
function b(){var e,t,n;with({t:a,n:undefined})for(n in t)e=t[n]}

[[self description] cy$toCYON:] seems like a poor implementation of toCYON
implement cy$toJSON:inContext: for NSDictionary and NSArray
probably should use toll-free bridging and CF to check for boolean-ness

the non-local transform used for let is ludicrous... :( :(

cy# function q(e) { }
function q(e){var e}

fat arrows are currently output with too much verbosity

CYJSString <- wrap JavaScript strings and provide them back to Objective-C
ruby blocks need to return their last thing
Objective-C strings might should be cyonified using double-quotes

apparently you can have random escape sequences in strings, like \!
cycript -p with processes that have spaces doesn't work
CYDriver uses std::istream, but it should use std::streambuf

constant flags on types are encoded using something horribly wrong
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ObjCRuntimeGuide/Articles/ocrtTypeEncodings.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Type-encoding.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Legacy-type-encoding.html

blocks should be allowed to return blocks/functions: ModifiedType needs to go
  instead, TypedParameterList should be folded into a TypeModifier with the other types

look up identifiers in the bridge for highlighting (and remove special case tokens)

when ?bypass, you are unable to send multi-line commands
the current line-extension detector doesn't handle multi-line tokens

what the hell did I mean by (*name - 10) in the sig/parse error messages?
syntax highlight embedded components of strings and regular expressions
replace the lex-assisted syntax highlighter with a grammar-assisted one
tell brian that alt-minus-3 and alt-minus-(alt)-3 are somehow different
the lexer turns "@encodenew" into "@encode""new"... word breaks, anyone?
.prototype of a Class returns "undefined", which is very confusing

!! :( if you have a regular expression followed by an alphabetic operator
      then the output engine needs to put a space character between them

I should support arbitrary objects as the keys for NSDictionary literals
add a special syntax highlight color for message selector parts
there are numerous paths through Console that fail to free(line)

if the grammar sanity checks fail, they don't delete the grammar output

cy# a.constructor.class.$cya().valueOf()
0x1619ee64
^ this is different EVERY TIME?!?

MPMusicPlayerController.iPodMusicPlayer.shuffleMode is either id /or/ int

NSObject instanceof Type //<- should this be true?

I probably don't need to override SHELL to _BASH anymore

LT_INIT([pic-only]) doesn't work, because the default is only used if unset, and it has a default setting...
even when using --pic-only, libtool insists on building every file twice... with the same fucking arguments

JSContextGroupSetExecutionTimeLimit

cy# throw
cy> 5
cy> ;
cy> ^C

if you use "arguments", you have to protect it if you attempt to use it inside of a generated function; example: array comprehension over one fails

support Nil in addition to nil

1.7976931348623157e+308 == DBL_MAX

-    } else
-        return CYCastPointer<SEL>(context, value);
+    } else {
+        // XXX: should call .valueOf and, if a number, cast as a pointer
+        CYPool pool;
+        return sel_registerName(CYPoolCString(pool, context, value));
+    }

cy# @[].concat([3,4])
[@[],3,4]
cy# [].concat([3,4])
[3,4]

@synchronized, maybe @autorelease

support leaving off the block return type if the block has no return value; statements

cy# var a = 4; {let a = 3; }; a
cy= a=4;a=3;a

abstract method_copyMethodList to something more reasonable

cy# "\x00"
cy= "\x00"
wanted: "\0"
(does JS really support \0? node seems to think so)

cy# ({$a:5,$b:3}).$<TAB> <- fails to tab complete to a list

auto-complete partial string keys

cy# @encode(const char *)(@encode(void *(*)(const char *))(dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT, "strdup")))
"[object Pointer]"

the error regime when using MS.hookMessage destroys Objective-C exceptions that are thrown

the restrict keyword should be supported in type specifiers


support (void) argument lists
typedef int;
typedef should be creating local variables
