TODO list: always incomplete :-) -------------------------------- COMPILER - Compilation error must always indicate the column, not sometimes only the line. - Warn for unused local or private variables. INTERPRETER - A special syntax to make variable writable once only (for controls variables). - Add global parameters for each component. Or no, a global configuration repository, to tell, for example, which socket the mysql component must use... - Make objects printable, with a "_print" hidden method or something else. - Make objects writable and readable to streams. - Perl regexp with the MATCH operator. - Type mismatch error: print the mismatched values. - Special runtime debugging commands for dumping all the variables for example. - A new debugging compilation option to only put line number information in the output files. - If project compilation version < compiler version then => compile all - Catch kill signal to remove temporary files. - Sorting two or more arrays at the same time. - MOD with floats. - Make the error information associated with the current stack frame. - Timer.TimeLeft. - OPEN ... LOCK. True lock while reading/writing a file. - select() system call can fail if a watched file descriptor is in error. But how can I know the offending file descritor? Maybe by using poll() instead. DEBUGGER - Add/Remove a breakpoint without pausing the program! DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT - Manage Object properties in IDE. - Make a visual control clipboard. - Generates an index control->component to suggest components for missing controls. - Be able to open a .tar.gz project, and compress it back when the project is closed. - Conditional breakpoints. - Define a control order somewhere for the toolbox. - An option to interpret "." and "," when reading float in a CSV import. - Class template files. - Redesign the source code navigator (F2 and SHIFT+F2). GUI RELATED STUFF - Deleting a currently expanding item in TreeView crashes. - ValueBox.Value should be visible in the IDE. - Moveable tabs. - ListView and GridView selection interface should be the same. - More clever vertical toolbar. DESKTOP COMPONENT - Detect an already running application. DATABASE COMPONENT - Add Views support in database component. - Changeable client Charset in database driver. - Returns the number of records affected by a query. - A new database driver model. - Copy a result line into another one. - Use SAVEPOINT in postgresql to simulate nested transactions. DOCUMENTATION WIKI - Mass rename command. - Fix last changes: only those in one language. - A documentation page to explain the Gambas syntax. - User comments on documentation pages. NETWORK COMPONENT - Do a big cleanup. COMPONENTS - Put version number in *.component files, and use it when making dependencies in the IDE.
