1 GMQCC is quite feature complete. But that doesn't address the fact that
2 it can be improved. This is a list of things that we'd like to support
3 in the distant future. When the time comes, we can just select a topic
4 from here and open a ticket for it on the issue tracker. But for the
5 meantime, this is sort of a cultivating flat file database.
8 The following are optimizations that can be implemented after the
9 transformation into static-single assignment (SSA).
11 Global Value Numbering:
12 Eliminate redundancy by constructing a value graph of the source
13 then determining which values are computed by equivalent expressions.
14 Similar to Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE), however expressions
15 are determined via underlying equivalence, opposed to lexically identical
18 The following are optimizations that can be implemented before the
19 transformation into a binary (code generator).
22 The process of finding sequences of code that are identical,
23 or can be parameterized or reordered to be identical.
24 Which can be replaced with calls to a shared subroutine. To
25 reduce duplicated code. (Size optimization)
28 The following are language features that we'd like to see implemented in the
32 Macros with sanity. Not textual substiution.
35 Like C++, but minus the stupidity:
36 - No type operator overloads
37 - Keep operator overloading for basic operators though.
39 - No virtuals / pure virtuals
40 - Essentially "C structs but with operators" :)
43 Ability to make individual functions with the same name, but take
44 different amount of arguments or type of arguments.
46 Default Argument Substiution:
47 Ability to specify default values for arguments in functions.
48 void foo(string bar, string baz="default");
49 Supplying just one argument will expand the second argument to
50 become "default", otherwise if two arguments are specified then
51 the "default" string is overrode with what ever the user passes.
54 There is already a ticket open on this. They'd work just like C++
58 The following are things we'd like to see added to the testsuite
59 in the distant future:
62 Ability to select individual tests, or set parameters manually
63 opposed to using the static task-template files. (A method to
64 override them rather).
