[bpt/guile.git] / TODO
1 * Add facilities for debugging Scheme programs.
2
3 The low-level debugging support is done, and we are now working on the
4 user interface.
5
6 * Documentation.
7
8 We have a new layout for the reference manual which covers the
9 C/Scheme interface, as well as the scheme variants. We also want a
10 more thorough tutorial manual, but we haven't sketched that out yet.
11
12
13 Desired later on
14
15 * Good interface to Tk
16
17 * Add a convenient facility for running a pipeline of processes
18 with redirections. Gary Houston <ghouston@actrix.gen.nz>
19 is working on this.
20
21 * Make it possible to link Guile and TK without using libtcl.a, by
22 providing Guile-based replacements for the libtcl.a functions that TK
23 requires.
24
25 * Make ordinary lambda functions work as callbacks for Tk;
26 eliminate the need for tcl-lambda.
27
28 * Translators for additional languages; in particular, Perl, Python,
29 TCL, Emacs Lisp, and Rexx.
30
31 * Clean up declarations of C functions to use a PROTO macro
32 for conditional prototypes, instead of explicit conditionals.
33
34 * A package for time conversions and formatting.
35
36 * Make GDB work with Guile
37
38 This would permit programmable debugging and a nice integrated GUI.
