3 CXX Runtime Library Tasks
4 =========================
5 * Look into mirroring libsupc++'s typeinfo vtable layout when libsupc++/libstdc++
6 is used as the runtime library.
7 * Investigate and document interoperability between libc++ and libstdc++ on
8 linux. Do this for every supported c++ runtime library.
12 * future should use <atomic> for synchronization.
16 * Improve the quality and portability of the locale test data.
17 * Convert failure tests to use Clang Verify.
21 * P0492r2 - Implement National body comments for Filesystem
22 * INCOMPLETE - US 25: has_filename() is equivalent to just !empty()
23 * INCOMPLETE - US 31: Everything is defined in terms of one implicit host system
24 * INCOMPLETE - US 32: Meaning of 27.10.2.1 unclear
25 * INCOMPLETE - US 33: Definition of canonical path problematic
26 * INCOMPLETE - US 34: Are there attributes of a file that are not an aspect of the file system?
27 * INCOMPLETE - US 35: What synchronization is required to avoid a file system race?
28 * INCOMPLETE - US 36: Symbolic links themselves are attached to a directory via (hard) links
29 * INCOMPLETE - US 37: The term “redundant current directory (dot) elements” is not defined
30 * INCOMPLETE - US 38: Duplicates §17.3.16
31 * INCOMPLETE - US 39: Remove note: Dot and dot-dot are not directories
32 * INCOMPLETE - US 40: Not all directories have a parent.
33 * INCOMPLETE - US 41: The term “parent directory” for a (non-directory) file is unusual
34 * INCOMPLETE - US 42: Pathname resolution does not always resolve a symlink
35 * INCOMPLETE - US 43: Concerns about encoded character types
36 * INCOMPLETE - US 44: Definition of path in terms of a string requires leaky abstraction
37 * INCOMPLETE - US 45: Generic format portability compromised by unspecified root-name
38 * INCOMPLETE - US 46: filename can be empty so productions for relative-path are redundant
39 * INCOMPLETE - US 47: “.” and “..” already match the name production
40 * INCOMPLETE - US 48: Multiple separators are often meaningful in a root-name
41 * INCOMPLETE - US 49: What does “method of conversion method” mean?
42 * INCOMPLETE - US 50: 27.10.8.1 ¶ 1.4 largely redundant with ¶ 1.3
43 * INCOMPLETE - US 51: Failing to add / when appending empty string prevents useful apps
44 * INCOMPLETE - US 52: remove_filename() postcondition is not by itself a definition
45 * INCOMPLETE - US 53: remove_filename()'s name does not correspond to its behavior
46 * INCOMPLETE - US 54: remove_filename() is broken
47 * INCOMPLETE - US 55: replace_extension()'s use of path as parameter is inappropriate
48 * INCOMPLETE - US 56: Remove replace_extension()'s conditional addition of period
49 * INCOMPLETE - US 57: On Windows, absolute paths will sort in among relative paths
50 * INCOMPLETE - US 58: parent_path() behavior for root paths is useless
51 * INCOMPLETE - US 59: filename() returning path for single path components is bizarre
52 * INCOMPLETE - US 60: path("/foo/").filename()==path(".") is surprising
53 * INCOMPLETE - US 61: Leading dots in filename() should not begin an extension
54 * INCOMPLETE - US 62: It is important that stem()+extension()==filename()
55 * INCOMPLETE - US 63: lexically_normal() inconsistently treats trailing "/" but not "/.." as directory
56 * INCOMPLETE - US 73, CA 2: root-name is effectively implementation defined
57 * INCOMPLETE - US 74, CA 3: The term “pathname” is ambiguous in some contexts
58 * INCOMPLETE - US 75, CA 4: Extra flag in path constructors is needed
59 * INCOMPLETE - US 76, CA 5: root-name definition is over-specified.
60 * INCOMPLETE - US 77, CA 6: operator/ and other appends not useful if arg has root-name
61 * INCOMPLETE - US 78, CA 7: Member absolute() in 27.10.4.1 is overspecified for non-POSIX-like O/S
62 * INCOMPLETE - US 79, CA 8: Some operation functions are overspecified for implementation-defined file types
63 * INCOMPLETE - US 185: Fold error_code and non-error_code signatures into one signature
64 * INCOMPLETE - FI 14: directory_entry comparisons are members
65 * INCOMPLETE - Late 36: permissions() error_code overload should be noexcept
66 * INCOMPLETE - Late 37: permissions() actions should be separate parameter
67 * INCOMPLETE - Late 42: resize_file() Postcondition missing argument
71 * Find all sequences of >2 underscores and eradicate them.
72 * run clang-tidy on libc++
73 * Document the "conditionally-supported" bits of libc++
74 * Look at basic_string's move assignment operator, re LWG 2063 and POCMA
75 * Put a static_assert in std::allocator to deny const/volatile types (LWG 2447)
