`mkid' TODO - Future directions
* Bring all code into conformance with GNU project coding standards.
- Use command-line arguments, not the name of the program in argv[0]
to determine lid's behavior
- Revise the command-line argument syntax, in particular the mkid
scanner-arg syntax.
- Use getopt_long () in all programs to parse command-line arguments
- Handle GNU standard arguments: In particular, --version & --help
* Portability
- The configure script tests for lots of things, but the code doesn't
use all of the results that it should.
- Fix filenames.c to handle non-UNIX file names properly
(notably DOS & OS/2).
- Fix assumption that (sizeof (int) == sizeof (long))
* all query interfaces
- add environment variable for setting default ID file name.
* lid
- change the name of the program to something a bit more
descriptive, e.g., "findid".
- use "long long" (if the compiler supports it) integer comparisons
in find_number().
- generalize the command-line interface for different behaviors.
User passes a command-format string for operating on the results
of a query:
%t = token, %f = crunched file list, %F = uncrunched file list
Recommend the following aliases to emulate old behavior:
alias lid="findid -e 'echo %t %f'"
alias eid="findid -e 'vi +/\\<%t\\>/ %F'" # for vi users
alias gid="findid -e 'egrep \\<%t\\> %F'"
* mkid & lid
- store & retrieve floating point literals
- automatically crack (optionally gzipped or compressed) tar files, so
you can index and search archived source without having to unpack it.
* mkid
- add a recursive file tree walker, so a complete list of file names
need not be supplied.
- (Optinally?) store tokenized contents of comments.
- Store attributes with symbols: type, func, variable struct-tag
enum-tag, keyword, etc. Store caller/callee relationships between
identifiers. Indicate which files have defns vs. uses. This info
is needed to support a cscope interface.
- Add times(2) results to statistics output.
- treat \ specially for TeX files and do likewise with @ for Texinfo.
* cscope
- add a cscope work-alike query interface (this is being done by
Maureen Lecuona <lecuona@paul.rutgers.edu>)
* grep
- Hack GNU grep to use a mkid database for hints about which files to
search.
