matz 2f8d3bdc21 * array.c (rb_ary_modify): should copy the internal buffer if the
modifying buffer is shared.

* array.c (ary_make_shared): make an internal buffer of an array
  to be shared.

* array.c (rb_ary_shift): avoid sliding an internal buffer by
  using shared buffer.

* array.c (rb_ary_subseq): avoid copying the buffer.

* parse.y (gettable): should freeze __LINE__ string.

* io.c (rb_io_puts): old behavoir restored.  rationale: a) if you
  want to call to_s for arrays, you can just call print a, "\n".
  b) to_s wastes memory if array (and sum of its contents) is
  huge.  c) now any object that has to_ary is treated as an array,
  using rb_check_convert_type().

* hash.c (rb_hash_initialize): now accepts a block to calculate
  the default value. [new]

* hash.c (rb_hash_aref): call "default" method to get the value
  corrensponding to the non existing key.

* hash.c (rb_hash_default): get the default value based on the
  block given to 'new'.  Now it takes an optinal "key" argument.
  "default" became the method to get the value for non existing
  key.  Users may override "default" method to change the hash
  behavior.

* hash.c (rb_hash_set_default): clear the flag if a block is given
  to 'new'

* object.c (Init_Object): undef Data.allocate, left Data.new.

* ext/curses/curses.c (window_scrollok): use RTEST().

* ext/curses/curses.c (window_idlok): ditto.

* ext/curses/curses.c (window_keypad): ditto.

* ext/curses/curses.c (window_idlok): idlok() may return void on
  some platforms; so don't use return value.

* ext/curses/curses.c (window_scrollok): ditto for consistency.

* ext/curses/curses.c: replace FIX2INT() by typechecking NUM2INT().

* parse.y (str_extend): should not process immature #$x and
  #@x interpolation, e.g #@#@ etc.

* enum.c (enum_sort_by): sort_by does not have to be stable always.

* enum.c (enum_sort_by): call qsort directly to gain performance.

* util.c (ruby_qsort): ruby_qsort(qs6) is now native thread safe.

* error.c (rb_sys_fail): it must be a bug if it's called when
  errno == 0.

* regex.c (WC2MBC1ST): should not pass through > 0x80 number in UTF-8.

Language Spec.
- Class#allocate - basicNew
* operator !! for rescue. ???
* objectify characters
* ../... outside condition invokes operator method too.
* ... inside condition turns off just before right condition.???
* package or access control for global variables??
* named arguments like foo(nation:="german") or foo(nation: "german").
* method to retrieve argument information (needs new C API)
* multiple return values, yield values. maybe incompatible ???
* cascading method invocation ???
* def Class#method .. end ??
* class Foo::Bar<Baz .. end, module Boo::Bar .. end
* def Foo::Bar::baz() .. end ??
* I18N (or M17N) script/string/regexp
* Fixnum 0 as false ????
* discourage use of symbol variables (e.g. $/, etc.) in manual
* discourage use of Perlish features by giving warnings.
* non confusing in-block local variable (is it possible?)
+ remove scope by block
+ variables appears within block may have independent values.
* Regexp: make /o thread safe.
* decide whether begin with rescue or ensure make do..while loop.
* a +1 to be a+1, not a(+1).
* unify == and eql? again
* to_i returns nil if str contains no digit.
* raise exception by `` error
* jar like combined library package. -> RubyGems?
* resumable Exception via Exception#resume.
* method combination, e.g. before, after, around, etc.
* .. or something like defadvice in Emacs.
* property - for methods, or for objects in general.
* "in" modifier, to annotate, or to encourage assertion.
* selector namespace - something like generic-flet in CLOS, to help RubyBehevior
Hacking Interpreter
- generational GC
* non-blocking open (e.g. for named pipe) for thread
* avoid blocking with gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr (use fork ???)
* objectify interpreters ???
* remove rb_eval() recursions
* syntax tree -> bytecode ???
* scrambled script, or script filter
* setuid ruby
* performance tune for in-block (dynamic) local variables.
* give warnings to assign magic variables.
* export rb_io_{addstr,printf,puts,print}
* autoload should work with threads [ruby-talk:4589]
* remove stdio dependency from IOs.
* warn for inconsistent local variable usage (lv m and method m at the same time).
* MicroRuby
* Built-in Interactive Ruby.
* Parser API
* trap every method invocation, which can be enabled by e.g. trap_call :method.
* unify Errno exceptions of same errno, or new exception comparison scheme.
* 2.times{|i| if i==0 then a = 15 else puts eval("a") end} should print nil.
Standard Libraries
- Module#define_method which takes a name and a body (block, proc or method).
- Enume#inject
- Array#fetch
- IO::for_fd
- Process::waitall [ruby-talk:4557]
- Process::Status
- File::lchown, File::lchmod; xxx - still need work for non existing platforms
- move Time::times to Process.
- Enumerable#sort_by for Schwartzian transformation
- fork_and_kill_other_threads.
- signal list (Signal::trap, Signal::list).
- move NameError under StandardError.
- Integer#to_s(base)
- Hash::new{default}
- hash etc. should handle self referenceing array/hash
* String#scanf(?)
* Object#fmt(?)
* Time::strptime
* Integer[num], Float[num]; Fixnum[num]?
* method to retrieve non-number trailer for to_i/to_f.
* Stream or Port, abstract superclass of IO ?
* String#{pred,prev}, String#downto
* optional stepsize argument for succ()
* Ruby module -- Ruby::Version, Ruby::Interpreter
* introduce Boolean class; super of TrueClass, FalseClass
* synchronized method - synchronized{...}, synchronized :foo, :bar
* Array#&, Array#| to allow duplication. ???
* way to specify immortal (fork endurance) thread;
* or raise ForkException to every thread but fork caller.
* new user-defined marshal scheme. _dump(dumper), _load(restorer)
* library to load per-user profile seeking .ruby_profile or ruby.ini file.
* warning framework (warn, warning for Ruby level)
* marshal should not depend on sprintf/strtod (works bad with locale).
* ternary arg pow: a.pow(b,c) == a**b%c
* new caller(), e.g. call_stack; needs better name.
* remove dependency on MAXPATHLEN.
* pointer share mechanism similar to one in String for Array.
* Array#select(n1,n2...) works like Array#indexes(n1,n2...)
* deprecate Array#indexes, and Array#indices.
Extension Libraries
* ptk.rb pTk wrapper that is compatible to tk.rb
* Berkeley DB extension
* BitVector
* thread-safe fcgi
Ruby Libraries
* add uri.rb
* urllib.rb, nttplib.rb, etc.
* format like perl's
Tools
* freeze or undump to bundle everything
* bundle using zlib
