ruby--ruby/ToDo
matz df96f994f1 * parse.y (parse_regx): should raise error on untermitated
expression interpolation.

* pack.c (pack_unpack): should give length to utf8_to_uv().

* pack.c (utf8_to_uv): add length check.

* massages: replace "wrong #" by "wrong number".

* marshal.c (w_float): output Infinity and NaN explicitly.

* marshal.c (r_object): support new explicit float format.

* eval.c (rb_thread_wait_for): select may cause ERESTART on
  Solaris.

* eval.c (rb_thread_select): ditto.

* array.c (rb_ary_join): dumped core if sep is not T_STRING nor T_NIL.

* array.c (rb_ary_join): buffer size calculattion was wrong.

* array.c (rb_ary_to_s): if rb_output_fs is nil, insert newlines
  between array elements (use rb_default_rs as newline litral)
  [experimental].

* gc.c (init_mark_stack): no need to clear mark_stack.

* gc.c (gc_mark_all): need to handle finalizer mark.

* gc.c (gc_mark_rest): use MEMCPY instead of memcpy.

* gc.c (rb_gc_mark): earlier const check to avoid pusing special
  constants into mark stack.

* numeric.c (fix_to_s): 'to_s' now takes optional argument to
  specify radix. [new]

* bignum.c (rb_big_to_s): ditto. [new]

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.
* String#scanf(?)
* Object#fmt(?)
* Integer#{bin,oct,hex,heX}
* 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.
* Hash::new{default} or recommend Hash#fetch?
* new user-defined marshal scheme. _dump(dumper), _load(restorer)
* hash etc. should handle self referenceing array/hash
* 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 for 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.
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
Misc
- publish Ruby books
- publish Ruby books in English
