  1. Stuff that needs to be done and wishlist:
  2. These are in no particular order.
  3. Some might be dupes, some might be done already.
  4. UNICODE:
  5. - Windows: Can use Unicode, but might only allow "codepages" ... Use
  6. GetProcAddress() to find Unicode entry points on WinNT-based
  7. systems, otherwise try to use a sane codepage.
  8. - Mac Classic: apparently supports _something_, but I might just write it off
  9. as a loss.
  10. - OS/2: Codepages. No full Unicode in the filesystem, but we can probably make
  11. a conversion effort.
  12. - Everywhere: Move stricmp() out of platform layer and make it grok UTF-8.
  13. Stuff:
  14. - Other archivers: perhaps tar(.gz|.bz2), RPM, ARJ, etc. These are less
  15. important, since streaming archives aren't of much value to games (which
  16. is why zipfiles are king: random access), but it could have uses for, say,
  17. an installer/updater.
  18. - Stack allocate in stripAppleBundle() (platform/unix.c) instead of calloc().
  19. - Reduce malloc() pressure all over the place. We fragment memory like mad.
  20. - macclassic.c :
  21. "/* (Hmm. Default behaviour is broken in the base library. :) ) */"
  22. - Platforms to port to: Amiga (needs platform driver), DOS4GW (platform driver).
  23. - profile string list interpolation.
  24. - We have two different ways to find dir entries in zip.c.
  25. - Do symlinks in zip archiver work when they point to dirs?
  26. - Enable more warnings?
  27. - Use __cdecl in physfs.h?
  28. - Look for FIXMEs (many marked with "!!!" in comments).
  29. - Probably other stuff. Requests and recommendations are welcome.
  30. - Cygwin should use unix/posix and not win32 platform code.
  31. - Expose the archiver registration mechanism to the outside world.
  32. - Find some way to relax or remove the security model for external tools.
  33. - Non-blocking I/O
  34. - mmap() in posix.c
  35. - OSX shouldn't use ~/.app for userdir.
  36. - fscanf and fprintf support in extras dir.
  37. - Why do we call it openArchive and dirClose?
  38. - Sanity check byte order at runtime.
  39. - Memory locking?
  40. - Find a better name than dvoid and fvoid.
  41. - Can win32.c and pocketpc.c get merged?
  42. - There's so much cut-and-paste between archivers...can this be reduced?
  43. - General code audit.
  44. - Multiple write dirs with mount points?
  45. - Deprecate PHYSFS_setSaneConfig and move it to extras?
  46. - Why is physfsrwops.c cut-and-pasted into the ruby bindings?
  47. - Replace code from SDL...
  48. - Should file enumeration return an error or set error state?
  49. - Update internal zlib?
  50. - Need "getmountpoint" command in test_physfs.c ...
  51. - Look for calloc() calls that aren't going through the allocation hooks.
  52. - maybe other stuff.
  53. - Is -Wall enabled?
  54. - Make mutexes recursive, so callbacks can call into the API.
  55. - Archivers need abstracted i/o to read from memory or files (archives in archives?)
