ChangeLog
See the ChangeLog file looking for lines taged with the word FIXME.
COREFILE.C:
The implementation of corefile.c (defined by corefile.h) isn't the
best. It is intended to be functionaly correct rather than fast. One
option being considered is to add a data cache to reduce the overhead
of the most common case of data read/writes.
VEA
Missing VEA system calls.
ppc-instructions:
Missing or commented out instructions.
64bit:
64bit target untested. 64bit host broken. For instance use of scanf
"%x", &long long.
events.c:
Event code for pending events from within signal handlers not
finished/tested.
hw_*.c:
Better and more devices.
PORTABILITY:
(Notes taken from Michael Meissner): Heavy use of the ## operator -
fix using the clasic X/**/Y hack; Use of the signed keyword. In
particular, signed char has no analogue in classic C (though most
implementations of classic C use signed chars); Use of long long which
restricts the target compiler to be GCC.
device_ioctl():
Should have an extra argument (unsigned request) as standard.
