This is meant to be a general place to list things that should be done "someday" 3.8 Release Goals ================= * LFTS v1 (EricWF, MClow) * Filesystem TS (EricWF) * ASIO TS (MClow) * Improvements (MClow) * Setup ABI Versioning policy (EricWF) * Fix PR19302 - Fix UB in list and __tree. ABI Related Tasks ================= * Explicitly manage and verify symbols exported from the dylib. * Explore using namespaces for managing symbol visibility. * Introduce and document ABI versioning/evolution policy. CXX Runtime Library Tasks ========================= * Cleanup #ifdef hell in sources files that supports the different ABI libraries. * Fix that CMake always link to /usr/lib/libc++abi.dylib on OS X. * Fix selection of ABI symbol list on OS X. * Have CMake generate linker scripts for libc++.so that it properly links the runtime library. * Look into mirroring libsupc++'s typeinfo vtable layout when libsupc++/libstdc++ is used as the runtime library. * Audit libraries that CMake links into libc++. Are they all required? * Investigate and document interoperability between libc++ and libstdc++ on linux. Do this for every supported c++ runtime library. Atomic Related Tasks ==================== * Enable mixing of clang and GCC atomics internally. Currently some parts of libc++ use atomics only when clang provides them. (see memory@5380 for an example) * Audit use of libatomic builtins in with GCC. * future should use for synchronization. Test Suite Tasks ================ * Move all libc++ specific tests from test/std into test/libcxx. * Improve how LIT handles compiler warnings. * Improve the quality and portability of the locale test data. * Convert failure tests to use Clang Verify. Misc Tasks ========== * Find all sequences of >2 underscores and eradicate them. * run clang-tidy on libc++ * Document the "conditionally-supported" bits of libc++ * Look at basic_string's move assignment operator, re LWG 2063 and POCMA * libc++ is missing try_emplace * Put a static_assert in std::allocator to deny const/volatile types (LWG 2447) * Document support (or lack of) for C++11 libraries in C++03. * Document supported compilers.
