Roadmap (To Do)

Overview shortlist of todo items:

Language:

• better cast syntax cast<u32>(number) is just ugly
• [tbd] generics: under discussion (see Forum)
• [tbd] restrict keyword (http://www.c2lang.org/forum/index.php?topic=91.0)
• [tbd] assert() like functionality
• enum: change enum_max/min to MyEnum.max and MyEnum.min (http://www.c2lang.org/forum/index.php?topic=116.0)
• [tbd] enum: add attribute to enable automatic MyEnum.tostring() function generation.
• [tbd] add defer functionality
• force union initializations to always use designated initializers. Also document
• [tbd] allow overriding struct init's? (see http://www.c2lang.org/forum/index.php?topic=143.0)
• implement bitfields

C2C:

• [bug] fix parser language constructs that still cause a crash
• [backend] generate IR code for more AST elements (IR backend)
• style the code using clang-format (style TBD)
• [bug] C generator doesn't filter duplicate includes when using single-file output
• [analyser] When assigning function pointers, the function proto is not checked yet
• [analyser] add option Not to warn about unused constants
• [analyser] check printf() arguments. Need attribute syntax change to pass 2 arguments
• AST: store value of compile-time constants in AST. Optionally over/re-write AST.

Tooling:

• implement LSP (Language Server Protocol) for C2
• tab completion on targets in recipe / cmdline args (bash script)
• create graphical refactor tool (c2reto) (IN PROGRESS)
• create c2format - clang-format/astyle for C2.
• create c2grep - grep only files in recipe (like ack-grep)
