This file lists future projects and enhancements for gawk. Items are listed in roughly the order they will be done for a given release. This file is mainly for use by the developers to help keep themselves on track, please don't bug us too much about schedules or what all this really means. For 4.1 ======= Merge gawk/pgawk/dgawk into one executable Consider removing use of and/or need for the protos.h file. Consider moving var_value info into Node_var itself to reduce memory usage. Merge xmlgawk -l feature Merge xmlgawk XML extensions Integrate MPFR to provide high precision arithmetic. Continue code reviews / code cleanup Consider making gawk output +nan for NaN values so that it will accept its own output as input. For 4.2 ======= Implement designed API for loadable modules Redo the loadable modules interface from the awk level. Rework management of array index storage. (Partially DONE.) DBM storage of awk arrays. Try to allow multiple dbm packages. ? Move the loadable modules interface to libtool. ? Add an optional base to strtonum, allowing 2-36. ? Optional third argument for index indicating where to start the search. ?? A RECLEN variable for fixed-length record input. PROCINFO["RS"] would be "RS" or "RECLEN" depending upon what's in use. ?? Use a new or improved dfa and/or regex library. ??? Gnulib Consider really implementing BWK awk SYMTAB for seeing what global variables are defined. Probably never: =============== Do an optimization pass over parse tree? Consider integrating Fred Fish's DBUG library into gawk. Make awk '/foo/' files... run at egrep speeds (how?) ? Have strftime() pay attention to the value of ENVIRON["TZ"] Add a lint check if the return value of a function is used but the function did not supply a value.
