Add some syntax todo items from Clang documentation.

[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
think about bridging NSNumber with Number prototype
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
errors in another process aren't displayed; to fix this, parse errors should get converted to exceptions and thrown
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
function pointers are ?; note that blocks are currently block_P = '?'
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
don't ever generate $ CYWith, in particular for CYLet... use CYFunctionExpression

semi-colin insertion warings should mark after the previous token, not on the current one: makes a /lot/ more sense
new for pools should take a reference, not a pointer

output errors during Trampoline to some kind of log file

cy# ["" <TAB> -> {message:"'undefined' is not an object (evaluating '\"\".$cyi.isa')",line:1,sourceId:30583072,name:"TypeError"}
  now: cy# ["" <TAB> -> *** _assert(false):Console.cpp(214):ParseExpression [errno=12]
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?

cy# (function() { for each (var index in [1, 3]) system.print(index); })()
(function(){with({$cys:[1,3],$cyt:undefined})for($cyt in $cys){index=$cys[$cyt];system.print(index)}})()

cy# (function() { var index; for each (var index in [1, 3]) system.print(index); })()
(function(){var e;;with({$cys:[1,3],$cyt:undefined})for($cyt in $cys){e=$cys[$cyt];system.print(e)}})()

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
evaluate usages of CYTry in ObjectiveC/Library for CYObjectiveTry
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];
