-Things to do or at least think about doing in the future. Name in
-parenthesis means that person has taken on this project.
-
-Zend
-----
- * Allow foreach ($array as $k => list($a, $b)) syntax for multi
- dimensional arrays.
- * Look at replacing c-lib call tolower().
- * Make hash API functions work with HASH_OF() to save time.
- * Native large number support (probably with GNU GMP)
- * Const'ify APIs. Right now, many functions leave parameters untouched,
- but don't declare those as const. This makes interaction with other
- interfaces difficult which pass const parameters to us.
-
-
-global
-------
- * Make sure that all ZTS globals get destructed. Most ts_allocate_id()
- calls should have a dtor entry.
- * on some platforms unimplemented function will just do nothing
- (e.g. symlink) they should print a warning or not even be defined!
- (DONE ?)
- * --enable-all in configure. (--enable-shared=max ...)
- * make configure print out a summary when it's done (like XEmacs)
- * replace standard functions which work on static data with
- reentrancy-safe functions (DONE?).
- * make SAPI conform to CGI/1.1. Currently, all SAPI modules
- define REMOTE_ADDR etc. themselves and reach only various level
- of compliance.
- * see what functions might need to be changed to use HashPosition, so
- that the internal array pointer is not affected.
- * Move most extensions and PEAR packages out of the PHP CVS tree,
- include them again during release packaging.
-
- Other
- * use thread-safe resolver functions (either require BIND 8 or adns).
- * implement javadoc based function docs template system.
- * provide optional IPv6 support (seems to be done?).
- * find a better way to implement script timeouts. SIGVTALRM is used
- by some POSIX threads implementations (i.e. OpenBSD) and is not
- available in ZTS mode.
- * Implement flush feature suitable for nested output buffers.
-
-Streams
--------
- * Route filestat.c through the wrapper layer; isolate the statcache code
- so that it is independent of php functions and can be applied to any
- stream/path.
- * Implement generalized connection pool for stated protocols such as
- ftp and http/1.1 (using keep-alive) to avoid having to negotiate
- new command/request stream for each subsequent call; Possibly store
- resources in contexts (creating a default context if necessary) to
- allow segmentation of connection pools.
- * Add a method to take ownership of the memory buffer in memory streams so
- that generating string values for zvals doesn't require an estrdup.
- * bundle and use curl lib for fopen wrapper.
-
-documentation
--------------
- * Add remarks in the documentation which functions are not implemented
- on win32.
- * Add remarks in the documentation which functions are not binary-safe.
- * Update curl documentation (DONE?)
- * Add developer documentation.
- * Add detailed documentation for Java extension.
-
-ext/curl
---------
- * Have a warning scheme for when people use unsupported features.
-
-ext/oci8
---------
- * All OCIFetch*() functions should return 0 for no more data and false on
- error.
- * Have a flag that trims trailing spaces from CHAR fields on retrieval.
- * Make allow_call_time_pass_reference=Off working.
- * For additional todo information, see oci8.c, in ext/oci8
-
-ext/odbc
---------
- For PHP 4.3.0:
- * update all php_error calls to php_error_docref where valid
- * integrate EXPERIMENTAL ODBC update for use in PHP 5.0, use for
- testing purposes only.
-
- For PHP 5.0.0
- * Activate EXPERIMENTAL ODBC codebase update
-
-ext/pcre
---------
- * Allow user to set PCRE_NOTEMPTY, PCRE_ANCHORED at execution time, maybe
-
-ext/pcntl
----------
- * Change internal callback handler to use TICKS
- * Remove all zend_extension code
- * Add object callback support to pcntl_signal()
-
-ext/session
------------
- For PHP 4.3.0:
- * session_abort() to abort session. ie: Do not save session data.
- * Allow unset($_SESSION) or unset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS) to unset
- session vars regardless of register_globals setting.
-
- Other:
- * Maybe implement finer-grained session variables that could be
- locked individually.
- * Write a network-transparent storage back-end with fallover
- facilities
- * Provide a callback facility which is executed upon encountering
- an unknown class name during deserialization
-
-ext/standard
-------------
- * Add a version number to data serialized via serialize().
- * Possibly modify parsing of GPC data to automatically create arrays if
- variable name is seen more than once.
- * Implement regex-cache for url-functions.
- * Move socket related functions to fsock.c.
-
-ext/wddx
---------
- * See if we can support the remaining data types:
- binary
-
- http://www.wddx.org/WDDX_SDK_10a/7__References/WDDX_DTD.htm
- (Andrei)
-
- * implement wddx_packet_as_javascript(). (Andrei)
-
-other cool stuff
-----------------
- * PVM extension

-Component: Zend Engine 2
-
- Important stuff to finish: PPP members/PPP methods,
- support of overloaded extensions, possibly differentiate
- between class and namespace as discussed with Stig in
- Germany.
-Responsibility: Zeev, Andi, Stas
-Time frame: Couple of months for first part and extensions will be
- ongoing while PHP is being fixed.
- Things to leave for later versions: Native aggregation
- support, accessing static members via object and not class.
-
-
-Component: Aggregation
-Responsibility: Andi, Stig?
-Time frame: ?
-
-
-Component: Redesign of API Versioning
-Responsibility: ?
-Time frame: 1 month
-
-
-Component: Thread Safety
- Identify the extensions that are not thread safe by design
- or due to dependant libraries and identify them as such.
- If possible try to resolve thread safety issue via code
- improvements (if php code or patches will be accepted by
- library maintainers). For situations where thread safety
- cannot easily be acheived a flag in the extension API is
- set so PHP can identify non-thread safe extensions. These
- extensions will not be loaded in a ZTS compiled binary
- (unless it is cli/cgi).
-
-Responsibility: ?
-Time frame: ?
-
-
-Component: SAPI
- Environment variables defined in the CGI spec need to be
- verified in each SAPI module that they conform to the CGI
- spec correctly. If they do not, the SAPI module needs to
- fix the variable prior to script execution. Having this
- conformity will aid in having PHP scripts run correctly
- under different sapi modules.
-
-Responsibility: Shane Caraveo & each sapi module owner
-Timeframe: ? (but shouldn't be much effort, most modules are probably ok)
-
-
-Component: RPC Abstraction Layer
- Porting java, com, dotnet, xmlrpc, corba, soap and python, srm
- (are there more ?) to work with the new oo api and preferably
- by using ext/rpc.
-Responsibility: Harald
-Time frame: 2 months (but i have to wait for a few engine features first)
-
-
-Component: OO Extensions
- Each OO extension has to be revised and rewritten to fit into
- the new OO model. We should decide which extensions are a must
- to have for the release and which can be ported by the maintainer
- later as a separate pecl release.
- A list of extensions to be extended that have to be investigated:
- * browscap
- * aggregate
- * all *sql extensions (*_fetch_object)
- * domxml (seems like christian is rewriting it anyways)
- * ming
-Responsibility: Harald (, extension maintainers)
-
-
-Component: Abstract Data Types (ADT)
-Responsibility: Sterling, Harald
-Time frame: ?
-
-
-Component: Test Suite
- Extending the test suite with atleast a test for every
- function in an extension that doesn't require external
- resources. Also developing an automated test thing which
- cvs ups's, compiles and tests the build on a daily base on
- as much platforms/extensions as possible.
-
- The test suite will also be extended to support threaded
- testing and testing for differing sapi modules (via http
- calls or other methods).
-Reponsibility: Derick (, extension maintainers)
-Time frame: 3 months
